Usually (Pakem) lenght of the keris (Jawanese keris) = 4 - 4,5 X lenght of the Gonjo (can be more for Madura and out of Jawanese keris). If under 4 X lenght of the Gonjo, its assumptioned that the blade has cutted or revisioned and out from limit of tolerance.

So, how long is the perfect keris blade ? cannot be used for standard.
