Speaker A

Peace, peace, peace. Meet me again, Tedi Wahyono, on the channel for learning about Keris and heirlooms of the archipelago with common sense and an open heart. Well, this time I will discuss two keris, namely the Omyang Jimbe and Pamekang Jagad keris. Now,

00:49

Speaker A

these two keris are usually misunderstood by many. Misunderstood or perhaps not quite right. Not quite right. Not entirely wrong, just a bit off. I know this from the many WhatsApp messages asking about the Omyang Jimbe and Pamekang Jagad keris. Many still

01:11

Speaker A

have an understanding that leans more towards clinical or mystical things. And indeed, Omyang Jimbe is famous for being able to pull mystical money or draw other heirlooms to increase wealth. And Pamekang Jagad is said to be an

01:28

Speaker A

heirloom with more powerful or magical properties than those without it. Now, is that really the case? I will discuss that later. But before I discuss it, for those who haven't subscribed, please do so so you don't miss any

01:47

Speaker A

information from this channel. Now, the Omyang Jimbe keris itself is understood by many friends to be a term for keris with the Putut or Putut Kembar dapur.

02:08

Speaker A

Like this one. Putut Kembar is this one. So, it has an ornament of a seated person, or some call it a meditating priest, or a student. Putut refers to students learning from a teacher or sage. That's it. So far, it has been

02:31

Speaker A

said that the Omyang Jimbe keris can be used to attract mystical money, wealth, or heirlooms stored in the mystical realm. Some even say it can multiply rice because many unscrupulous psychics use it for such demonstrations. That's just a magic trick. Then there are

02:57

Speaker A

those who call it Omyang Tagih, saying it helps to pay off debts quickly. There's also Omyang Cumpet, which is said to stop electricity or extinguish fires just by pointing at them. So, it's like that. But those are just

03:19

Speaker A

myths. Whether they are true or not cannot be proven for sure. But there is a philosophy behind the Putut dapur, which represents someone who is learning. It means we should not feel we are the smartest. We must always

03:36

Speaker A

continue to learn any kind of knowledge. That is the core essence. That is the basic philosophy. So, what is the real Omyang Jimbe keris then? Once again, we must understand who Omyang was. Omyang or Umyang was a great master bladesmith

03:59

Speaker A

of the Pajang era. He produced many excellent works, and it is said that the esoteric power of Empu Omyang's work is quite strong. Well, Empu Omyang was a great master from the Pajang era.

04:15

Speaker A

According to several ancient records, there are actually three versions, but the one with written documentation is the first one I mentioned. The blade, for instance, usually has larger curves (luk) compared to Majapahit keris. That is the first point. Furthermore, if it

04:36

Speaker A

has a kembang kacang, it is usually extra large yet remains elegant. The lambe gajah is also long, longer than usual, but looks sweet, graceful, and smooth. And for the sogokan, if it has one, it is usually made long and deep with a curved tip. Then the janur—

05:00

Speaker A

the center ridge—in the middle of the sogokan is made sharp. Made sharp. If it has a kruwingan, it is usually wide and distinct. That is the visual appearance. With that definition, perhaps you might be reminded of the Madiun-style keris. I also think it

05:20

Speaker A

looks quite similar to the Madiun style. But after chatting with several seniors and masters, it turns out Empu Omyang had also been to Madiun, besides Pajang. In Madiun as well, you see. If I am not mistaken, he used the name

05:38

Speaker A

Empu Kodo, which is why many keris from the Madiun era are actually works of Empu Omyang. That is the first version.

05:48

Speaker A

Now, the second version is found in Surakarta and Yogyakarta, though it is not written down, it has many followers. For a keris by Omyang, it is said the prominent feature is that the first curve (luk) looks strange. It looks

06:06

Speaker A

like someone who is overfilled, and because it is strange or called an inverted curve, the tip does not face forward but appears to tilt backward.

06:18

Speaker A

That is the prominent feature, and it indeed has many followers even though there are no written records; to this day, many still believe in it.

06:27

Speaker A

Meanwhile, in East Java itself, just a moment, for keris by Empu Omyang, it is said the blade is shorter and looks wide, and at the bottom (sor-soran) there is a twin putut ornament like this. So it is not just like this, you

06:51

Speaker A

know. It is finished. But generally, we know this is a dapur putut. However, in East Java, there is an opinion that Empu Omyang's work is precisely like this. So, you are free to choose which one you prefer. As for me, I tend to go

07:10

Speaker A

with the first one I mentioned. Because the first one has records, and if I recall, it resembles historical evidence. And from the stories, it turns out Empu Omyang was indeed in Madiun as well. So there is a common

07:26

Speaker A

thread; it is all connected, you see. But once again, it is up to you. So, once again, not every twin putut keris is an Omyang keris or made by Empu Omyang. Not all of them. And not all Omyang keris have the same form, you

07:43

Speaker A

know. So some are plain, some have a kembang kacang feature. So there is a variety, he created many different types. Now, for this second one, I will discuss a keris called pamekang jagat.

07:55

Speaker A

Pamekang jagat keris. What is pamekang jagat? Well, pamekang jagat keris are those that have a hole in the middle.

08:06

Speaker A

If it's wavy, it follows the waves, but there are also straight ones. So, the hole is usually a perforation or just a crack, you see. Just a crack. This one happens to be perforated. Now, this one here happens to be perforated. So the

08:19

Speaker A

pamekang jagat is perforated. It just happens that the pamekang jagat is perforated. See, it's pierced through. Well. This pamekang jagat is believed to have greater tuah or power than keris without a pamekang jagat, without a hole. So some consider it the same as in the world of agate, like a

08:45

Speaker A

combong keris. So, a combong keris that has a natural hole is said to have more power, one of which is for attraction.

08:53

Speaker A

It is also said that this one can be used for attraction. And other mystical powers like authority. Now, is it really like that? That’s just the version that’s circulating, you know.

09:10

Speaker A

I’ll tell you later why that version circulates. Actually, from the information I received from an empu and several seniors, pamekang jagat keris are actually keris with imperfect craftsmanship, not perfectly made. So the heating was insufficient or the tempering was lacking, you know. It

09:33

Speaker A

usually happens during the quenching process. So the final stage, after being heated and dipped into water, it cracks and splits, forming a pamekang jagat, and this definitely happens to keris with pamor that is slanted like this. So the layers are vertical, this

09:50

Speaker A

is slanted pamor, and secondly, of course, it doesn't use selorok (nickel). If it used selorok, it wouldn't easily form a pamekang jagat. Friends, if a keris usually doesn't use selorok, it might not be the best one, not the finest. And now, in this current era,

10:10

Speaker A

because there is high demand, many people make Pamekang jagat keris. Pamekang jagat. So they just make it, figuratively speaking. The pamor is slanted and doesn't use selorok. Then the heating is done in a certain way?

10:26

Speaker A

So later, a crack like this will occur. That is a pamekang jagat. Well, friends are free to choose which belief to follow, that's free, you know. But personally, for me, if it's a keris, I prefer good quality materials and good

10:43

Speaker A

craftsmanship. The matter of it being an antique (sepuh) or not. That, for me, is secondary. I prefer good materials and fine craftsmanship, you see. Especially if it's an antique, I like it even more. It'll have more history, you know. So that's how it is,

10:56

Speaker A

friends. So pamekang jagat indeed happens because the craftsmanship is less than perfect. If it is considered to provide more tuah, it's because the old ones were unintended. Who would intentionally make a damaged, failed kris, you know. It’s because the accidental cracking is

11:16

Speaker A

this has something more to it. And out there, many people like krises with this kind of\*pamor jagat\*. Including in the Cirebon region. In Cirebon, many already like\*pamor jagat\*krises like this. In East Java, there are many, and the dowries are affordable for\*pamor

11:34

Speaker A

jagat\*because they are considered perfectly crafted krises. So that’s all the information from me, I hope it’s useful, and don’t forget to like and subscribe. Yeah.
