Kris identification, luk or not?

We cannot have a one luk keris; lowest count must be three.

You begin the count on the first luk above the gandik and finish the count on the same side of the blade, thus lowest number of luk can only be three.

A full length pic would be of assistance, but from what I can see, this keris looks like dhapur campur bawur --- straight for most of its length, with just three luk close to the point.
