Megantoro

Wonder if my blade is a MEGANTORO...personally I would say it is.
Deep central groove and the (worn) kembang Kacang Pogok but it is not 7 luk blade ( which is part of the parameter?).
Wonder how old this blade is and the feather pamor type of pamor?

The MEGANTORO dapur is often seen in East-Java / Madura region?

I noticed this odd and worn blade at the recent Czerny's auction (replaced ganja?). Yes, the dapur could be identified as Megantara luk 5 although this is not a standard dapur. Dapur Megantara is not included in the reference book Dhapur (Surakarta pakem) but it is mentioned in the book Keris Jawa. The pamor pattern could be identified as Blarak Ngirid or Bulu Ayam.
Regards
