In Jawa specifically there are sheaths for formal dress wear (Ladrang) as well as everyday use (Gayaman) and some folks also have certain sheaths just for storage. Traditionally i am not sure if a reshaped wrongko like the one this keris is in would be culturally acceptable for public wear, but perhaps someone here would know the answer to that.
