The keris is dipped into poison solution called baceman (snake head pickles mixed with human faeces) just before battle or fight. So, the poison would still be working. In the Peninsula, keris is sometimes hardened by dipping the red hot blade into upas / poison solution. The effect if stabbed by it is still a mystery though......
