The shape of these keris

Hi All,
I have one of these also. This is my favorite Javanese dapor lok. I too would like to know more about this shape. The lok on my blade are less deeply curved than in sukuh's examples. It's too bad the ladrang wranka on my piece has seen better days.
Sincerely,
RobT

I have seen many keris sajin with one luk so I have always thought of it as a very ancient dapor.

I believe what we are looking at are technically 3 luk keris. You count the luks alternating side to side from the front of the keris.
