Hello Marco,

No worries - we're pretty much all students here...

I repeat: I put the figure taken from the dapur book just to show how the handle should be placed.
Yes, but my suggestion is that this specific hilt position is only applicable to cengkrong/cundrik. Not to the mahesa=kebo family of dhapur (including dhuwung).

For example, all blades in Haryoguritno's book "Keris Jawa ..." are shown in standard orientation except for cengkrong/cundrik.

Regards,
Kai
