hi! i'm new to this forum and also new among the classic weapons enthusiast. i'm from the state of terengganu and recently visit a distant relative who happen to own a keris. it was handed down for generations from father to eldest son. he show me the keris and from there my interest grew. though i came from the land where the keris orginated, i shamefully say i know almost nothing about it and i'm amazed at many of forumers here who, from distant land, knows more about keris then many of us here in Nusantara.

i have a question about pamor. is it possible to create a certain design, say an inscription or something using pamor, or is the pamor design are happen to be by chance?

Weclome to the forum Megat Alam Syah. I encourge you to make use of this forums search feaure. I am sure you will find many old threads to interest you.
The answer to your question is yes it is possible and i believe that an example was recently posted so take a look in the recent threads...or maybe that person would be so kind as to provide a link or repost the picture.

Hi Megat, welcome to the forum... I suggest you look up these...

pamor tiban, pamor rekan,
pamor mlumlah, pamor miring...
Also have a look at "Keris in the Malay World" (in VCD format), by
Kuala Lumpur: Dept. of Museums and Antiquities, Ministry of Culture, Arts & Tourism, [2002]

In the videodisc, there are segments on how pamor inscriptions are made.
These should get you started...
