Hello Semar,
From the (very small) pictures, the ricikan appears to include a kembang kacang, jalen, lambe gajah, pejetan boto adeg (brick standing-up), and may be tingil. The dapur type does not match well with any Javanese established standard (sempaner but without tikel alis?)and the pamor style is not clear so I would estimate that this blade was made by a village smith or in a manufacturing center.
Regards

This example may as well be of Cirebon tangguh (or Cirebonan/Pasundan). Pamor material also looks jawa pesisir

Are we playing the tangguh game AGAIN?

I really do wish that I was good enough to be able to give a supportable tangguh opinion from images on a computer screen.

Semar, tell me, what is the feeling of the pamor texture? Is it fairly coarse and rough, or would you say it has a smooth, almost greasy feel?

Is the blade relatively light, or does it feel relatively heavy?
