this is not carita keris but seems like pandai saras to me..

I do agree it's a Pandai Saras blade form. A Northern Malay Peninsular keris. Beautiful blade. Love the slight curve. Congrats.. What's the length of the blade?

Thank you both! My mistake, sorry. Normally I should know that's a pandai saras keris.

Blade is 35 cm long without pesi.

Congrats Sajen for an exquisite pandai saras of Gajah Tikor profile. Highly sought after in Malaysia. Let me know if you get tired with it....

Thank you Penangsang!

Please can you explain "Tikor"? "Gajah" means elephant, correct? And which sarung is correct for this blade? And, sorry, I don't think that I will get soon tired with it!

Hi Sajen,

Gajah means elephant
Tikor means big or great

gajah tikor is a keris terminology in Pattani and Northern Peninsula describing a keris lurus with curvy profile such as yours. Gajah Tikor is to describe the matured elephant tusk like profile - big and curvy

Penangsang, can you tell us what language the word "tikor" is from?

Thanks.
