In my humble knowledge, although possible and example may exist, contrary to western believe that many putut and other blade with character carving are rework pieces, they simply are not.

Not likely a 16 c./older in my opinion. I would conservatively date the first half of 20c.

Would like to learn the philosophy behind dapur Putut as well (also similar dapur like Semar Pethak) and how long they have been around.
