A keris from Java, Madura and Bali has pamor and to show the pamor is what it is to intended to do IMHO. A Malay keris don't have pamor normally and don't get a warangan normally. I agree also with the statement from David in up. Here is a blade from Java from my collection before and after cleaning and warangan. Regards, Detlef Attached Images
