Neo,

Till today, a personal keris (newly made by Empu) or Pusakas are not to be shown to other people, especially your enemy. Those who can read the keris can actually describe the owner, inside out esp the weakness, strength etc. And since this culture had been passed from generations after generations by oral tradition, its hard to pin point the exact origin or era when the tradition began to be practised
