The problem is, if we are moving outside from Javanese Keraton classification system, there are no such strong criteria for Dhapur. Panjang and similar blades of different size are most probably originated outside of Java, so there are no stronger rules used. I am not convinced, we can call anak-alang a dhapur at all.
This is a much to much for me and probably also for this thread, yet there are in general Panjang's and related blades with and without central ridge. Why, when and where - please ask more experienced members.
