I can't say i see evidence this blade was once straight. The pamor seems to bend along gently with the curves of the blade.
I do wonder is the gonjo might be a replacement (not recently mind you, but some time ago). It does not seem to show the same wear, colour or grain structure as the rest of this keris.
