My Solonese friend who is a high silat master was teached this ability to detect "empowered" blades. For this he would pass his hand along the blade close to it but without touching it and feel a vibration or rather tingling feeling as said by Mick. I tried it but it was not very successful probably by lack of relaxation and training (although I have dowser abilities which may help). An alternative technique which he uses is to hold a match and pass it along and close to the blade for transmitting the feeling to the hand. Try it yourself!
Regards

Nobody is born with the ability to feel the vibration in an empowered blade, you have to do a training technique In Silat its called rasa, the ability to feel with the heart. Just as the inner teachings of the keris are secret so are most of these training techniques also.
