Yes Pusaka, i realize that you were only talking about "living" keris. However, keris hidup covers much more than the talismanic keris that were attached to central posts as a protective jimat. So i am afraid that i still question your statement the "A keris in reality is nothing but a Jimat in the form of a dagger." It is obvious that many keris hidup were far more than simply a jimat.
