Where does this blade come from?

This is not a Megantara dapur (see pic) which is a Javanese dapur by the way.

thank you, I don’t know how to call a Melayu dapur of this type.

I would still appreciate then a comment on this blade of mine then.

I am still trying to find a good sarong for it after trying one that I have had made, I started doubting

I am not convinced that it is a Melayu dapur. Anyway you were lucky that your proposed sarong did not fit as it was not a good match IMO

Thank you again jean, I will still appreciate then some indication to what the community thinks this kind of blade is and what kind of sarong would fit.
A friend of mine suggested that I use a sarong that I have and which, in his opinion, would d fit this blade better. The hilt (tinted bone ) may or may not fit the combination.

What is the blade length? The peculiar features of your blade are the kruwingan (the 3 long grooves), the curved ganja, the deep pejetan, the odd kembang kacang, and the indistinct pamor pattern.
The proposed sarong is in East Sumatra/ Malaysian style which is more suitable for a Bugis style blade.

29,5cm

I hope to be able to properly find a suitable “ dress” to this kris or I would have to make do with what is available to me.

You may have seen my recent thread on another blade. Finding “ naked” blades is not unusual but then the problem of finding suitable attributes starts

Thanks for the additional pics & info!

Close-ups of the base of the blade would be great, too!

Regards,
Kai
