I mean, I just need to add informations that if we need to learn about the Javanese keris, we must indentifying and know when the keris came not or with warangan, because warangan process is a part of the whole the keris culture at Jawa. Rough or smooth condition also shown where the keris from. For example, if keris from Majapahit and Sedayu era, it must be smooth although it give Warangan. But if the keris from Madura Pamekasan, Cirebon, or Pajajaran, usually more rough. So, the conditions of the blade shown the technique of iron and pamor work, then we can distinguishing each keris from period and regional. The conditions of the blade is just 1 from many aspects to analysing the keris
