Admitted, the technical aspects of forging blades is not my strong point. However, while this blade displays no contrasting pamor i am not convinced that it is not a layered blade forged in the same fashion of most keris, just without any contrasting materials involved. In Jawa this would be referred to as pamor sanak, just plain iron with a steel core. It seems to me that the majority of Peninsula keris are sanak blades.
