Similar to a Moro kriss, with a touch of Indonesian influence, this a classic example of a Melayu kriss from the Malay peninsula, or possibly Borneo. The craftsmanship of the blade is superb, the lines both beautiful and precise. Note the unique ferrule. The hilt is of two piece wood construction, the lower portion resembling ebony. Note the precision of the fit.
