Hello Alexish,

Maybe there is a reason why the majority of Javanese Kerises have similar sarungs... like the common cultural background they share as they are deeply rooted in the Javanese culture?!

It is up to you to decide what you like and what you want to collect. But if uniqueness is such an important criteria, I am sure that a Keris with a Mickey Mouse sarung would be exclusively unique, as it would be one with the McDonalds logo.
