Indeed an outstanding piece, Ron.
The fullers till end of the blade give it something like a Malay touch indeed, a singular feature. |

This speaks to me so much. I am a big fan of straight kris and this is the finest example I've seen by far. Just... Wow.

here's a couple pics of what it looked like before i cleaned it. the only thing different is the tarnish that covered the metals. i really thought the whole thing was silver, but much to my surprise when i found out the handle is swaasa.. Kino, nah, it's full on metallic silver; it's just highly polished. the tint is just a reflection from the red shirt i was wearing when i was taking the pics, lol Gustav, Quote:
Drac2k, no genie, besides what's in the kris's blade, although the time machine i've been messing with is finally working right  lol, i jest. |

What a wonderful example, congratulations!
The okie looks a little more Maguindanao, but they are very close and difficult to distinguish. Also looks like there is more silver in the swassa than I usually see. And I do see your point on the red shirt reflection......... |
