are you an Indonesian?
I grew up in palur...I have a friend in karawitan, also a school mate named Bondan which is a dalang I guess.

do you know a keris trader named SALEH lives in Laweyan?

No Ferrylaki, not Indonesian, Australian, but I have been spending time in Indonesia, mostly Solo, every year for about 40 years.Two of my children were born in Indonesia, my wife is Indonesian, and I have family spread across Jawa and Bali.

Yes, I know of Saleh, but have never dealt with him.

I notice that this luwuk sword did not grinded...or no grinding effect on its edge.
but it is very sharp indeed.
I'm courious how they were made???
and the iron is seem flashy...if you look at the pic, it is shiny. not like other pamor javanese sword I ever seen before.
the pamor line also look different than others.not a line, not a motive.
on the edge you can see there is some part(point part) like peeling away or the outer layer is loosing.
