If possible, try to get a 'chenok' type blade.. see attached linked pic.

(Paul De Souza's example)..
Hope it helps..
Puhhhhhhhh, the Malay keris world is very confusing for me!
Special to to differentiate between the Bugis-style sampirs is very very difficult for me, maybe I start a own thread for this since I think that I am not the only confused member.
The blade with the broken kembang kacang coming with a other Malay sheath. But it's apparent that they don't belong together since the blade is to strong/thick for the sampir. I think that this Sampir is a Terengganu style sampir. See pictures.
