Dave and Lonna's recent find a Moro Kris

[DaveS]

Chris: Hi. Haven't heard from you in quite a while. It's true the ivory hilt
is much better looking than the wooden hilt, but i think the patterning is
better in this example. Are you going to be able to make the Pasadena Knife
Show in March?..........Dave.

Dave, if you're tired taking care of the ivory twistedcore kris let me know, I can take care of 'em for ya! Make sure to bring 'em in Pasadena in March.
Sent you an email.

We have all seen twist-core krises, campilons, panabas, i have been
lucky enough to get a twist-core bolo, but has anyone ever seen a twist-
core barong. I don't recall ever seeing or hearing about someone owning
one. I suspect that there has to be one somewhere floating about...Dave

Rick: It might be like some Javanese kris. Very heavily etched to produce
a very rough blade. Could this panel also have been forged separately and
then welded into the blade as a completely separate piece?......Dave.

IMHO, i don't think it's feasible nor practical to have a twistcore in a barung due to its shape, reason why we haven't seen any...
