A Kris For Show and Tell

BTW, I'm not sure that what the close-up shows is laminations (could also be an storage artifact). I do think that this is likely to be a laminated blade and that it deserves an etch. Have a look in the archives and feel free to PM for details!

Regards,
Kai

Hi Kai!

Here are pics of the markings. Sorry for the delay, and here's hoping they're
not upside down

. As to etching to see lamination, maybe just a small portion of the blade?? All my kris are unetched, all natural

.

Be well and thanks.
