Congrats Michael,

That's an awesome kris! Gorgeous blade and also the pommel seems to be really neat...

It's the first one with worn through sogokan that I encountered. Speaks for its age and quality carvings, I guess. The blade tip is very interesting: Within the inlay final there is a kinda-rhomboidal depression right in front of where the twist core pattern stops - I wonder wether something (swaasa/silver plaque?) may have been attached here originally (it doesn't look like a delamination of the twist core which should be thicker anyway). I assume that this looks alike on both sides, doesn't it?

BTW, what's the link for #101? Please pass my phone number on to the groupies if you happen to get too many calls...

Regards,
Kai
