One of seldom seen (on this forum) better quality Javanese blades. It would be nice to see a picture of the whole blade in correct upright position.
Looks like someone excessively tested it, if it's heat trated or not  I hope, these marks are not so deep.

Mr Maisey, many thanks for explaining the correct definition. Often the less qualified books refer to the heat treatment as "tempering".
Gustav, shall post a pic of the whole blade as soon as I get a decent image. |

In my opinion the pamor is Tungak Semi/Udan Mas. Am I correct ?

If the blade was mine, I would probably qualify the pamor style as Banyu Satetes but I may be wrong...

As far as I can see on the pictures, the pamor circles are more or less lined-up in the center of the blade only, this is why I selected Banyu Satetes and not Udan Mas. Pamor Banyu Satetes is not referenced in the EK and Keris Jawa books but well known in Central Java. I attach 2 pictures of blades with this pamor.
