Hello Ron,

can only repeat what John have written before. Is it possible that the edges are regrind from a former owner?

Regards,

Detlef

Wow, what a beauty, Ron! Beautiful twistcore blade, but I'm particularly in love with the "greneng" and "kambang kacang" (sorry, don't know what the Moro's called them). Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Rick.... the... same to yours!

You are two lucky dudes!


All the best, - Thor

thanks all!

the twistcore on your kris is just unreal, Rick! it does appear to have quadruple twisties and what makes it so amazing is how the two inside twistcores was made to look like the incised arrow found on most krises. pretty slick!

hello Detlef, which edges are you referring to?

Thor, i wholeheartedly agree. the incisions are very crisp indeed. this particular piece has been taken cared off all these years.

Hello Ron,

all plain areas of the blade look like fresh polished and the edges look very sharp and the engravings near the tip of the blade which look a little bit sanded down let me ask this question. Don't understand me wrong, when it was done, it is very professional done.

Regards,

Detlef
