Yes, Erik, they are. Some javanese keris people even said, that such kerises were usually used by ulemas, or religious preachers in the past.

Here is another picture of a chengkrong keris with nine (9) luks or waves I've just acquired in Jakarta... Old blade, with its old style of Banyumas (southern part of west-central Java) warangka and Cirebonese hilt...
