This is not a poor quality keris blade. The steel is compact, of good quality.

The luks are executed in a sublime manner, beautifully curving, and seems to almost go out of control, but does not. Amplitude of the luk seems to visually increase as we move towards the tip, even as the luk gets smaller.

The keris has a substantial cross section, yet does not feel heavy. The cross section profile is beautifully plump and well shaped.

Yes, it may not be a surakarta blade, but it is far from being of poor quality.
