 Yes, try it on a hard wooden surface. 
With the carpet it is more wedged within the carpet with the scabbard as a kind of bearing.
Some keris are able to stand on wood or stone almost without the help of the scabbard. I really don't know, whether this is a sign of quality or not but I have one Keris, which stands on its tip almost by itself after few seconds.
