This novel straight keris Bethok comes from the dapur Mahesa Kebo Teki. A keris Kebo Teki has the philosophical meaning of a buffalo undergoing the Tedek practice, or also known as the practice of mortification (asceticism). Spiritually, Kebo (buffalo) is often perceived as a guiding figure. As a panuntun, Kebo (buffalo) is said to have a strong and large physique, to work hard, to be loyal and patient. In addition, the ancient parents inherited local wisdom and ancestral traditions in the agricultural sector, which considered buffalo as “Rojokoyo,” meaning “Rojo” means king and “Koyo” means rich.
