It is a straight bladed stabbing sword.

Lurus = straight (Javanese, Bahasa Indonesia)

Suduk = stab (Jav.)

Tusuk = skewer (BI)

the pamor is Wos Wutah (Beras Wutah), this is a random,laying down, ie laying flat against the blade core, pamor as opposed to pamor miring, ie, at 90 degrees to the blade core.

pamor mlumah = laying down

pamor miring = at an angle

The forms of pedang lurus vary a lot, opinions of sub-classification names vary considerably.
