 Not really. There is nothing that confirms that newly made keris have a greater magnetic field than older keris. I always charge my new keris by touching them to a powerful magnet regardless of their age. I don't believe anyone has done  study that shows that keris begin life with a stronger magnetic charge and lose it over time.
