Laminated Kris for comment

Yes, a post-WW2 era piece.

i tried sanding the fullers also, but the pittings are so deep. i will try to sand it again from time to time to minimize the pittings.

I don't think the fullers were ever done correctly.

I believe sanding will be more than tedious and some dedicated tools would fare much better. If you can find a metal file of suitable diameter and bend it, that should help to even out and deepen the fullers; that would certainly help to make this kris more attractive.
