Hmmm... Rick, your blade have all the characteristics of a Bahari/Anak Alang/Alang keris blade, however it's subtle bend is uncommon. I guess you could call it a one luk Anak Alang... any objections?
No objections at all Alam Shah ; but I do not think that the curve is all that subtle .
I find this quite interesting because to the best of my recollection I have never seen another keris with one luk . I have a nice example of a simple Bugis keris that bears a slight curve ; I would not however call it a luk .

but this one ...
