Default Hmmm

Thanks All.

Looking at the black and white image of the kris being held, I can imagine this being quite a positive grip, looking at the colour image, although you tell me it is correct and I have no knowledge otherwise, I could see in the heat of fighting with sweat and blood being present, the grip on the handle does not look to convincing enough to be rigid, especially if resisitance like bone was met square one. I will however source a local Kris with the handle on the correct way and try it for myself.

Thanks for everyones input on the subject of this Kris and other questions.

regards

Gavin
