@Spunjer & Tunggulametung
Thanks for the pictures and detailed instructions.
I will definitely build a test-setup ( I have more than
enough rusty stuff lying around). If i will use it for the
moro kris i will decide later.
@Battara
Thanks for dating the kris. After looking at some picture
it may indeed be a sulu blade. I see no evidence of former metal applications on the hilt (nails, rifts, holes, etc.)
If there were any, the must have either been glued or the hilt must have been recarved after their removal.
I will keep you informed about the further progess.
Best Regards,
Thilo
