It's a funny world I see you are selling off some of your African and you are buying Moro I on the other had are selling my Moro stuff and am buying African. This is very Yin Yang. I love Italian food so does this mean you like kosher deli

( a nice pastrami sandwich on rye with a Dr. Browns cream soda)lol. Btw it's a very nice kris congrats. That's Brooklyn humor

Boys, if you need a superlative pastrami sandwich with a new pickle (and, of course, Dr. Brown's cream soda or cherry soda), you have to come to Ann Arbor: I'll take you to Zingerman's. According to all the culinary magazines, this is the best deli in the US.
Lew, Brooklyn takes a distant, very distant, second.... It is like a rusty African knife or a touristy barong to a Damascus Shashka

No offense meant.
On the second thought.... yes, it WAS meant

A VERY NICE WAY TO START A COLLECTION OF MORO KRIS

, VERY NICE WIRE WORK ON THE GRIP AND A VERY DISTINTIVE SCABBARD I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE QUITE LIKE IT. THE USE OF DIFFERENT COLORS OF FIBER TO FORM A PATTERN LOOKS ALMOST DAYAK, THEY USE DIFFERENT COLORS AND PATTERNS IN THEIR BASKETS. THEY SOMETIMES USE INTRICATE FIBER KNOTS TO HOLD THEIR SCABBARDS TOGETHER AND WITH PITCH TO HOLD COLORED TUFTS OF HAIR ON THEIR SCABBARDS. A INTERESTING AND ATTRACTIVE FIRST MORO KRIS WITH POSSIBLE NON PHILIPPINE INFLUENCES

DELI FOOD

REAL FOOD IS BBQ, STEAK, FRIED CHICKEN AND CATFISH!!

LabanTayo · 24th March 2006, 03:25 AM

somebady say BBQ? then you need to come to Kansas City. Arthur Bryants, Gates and LC's. the cooks that chop up the burnt ends would feel real comfortable with a binangon or mandau.

and for steaks, we have the Majestic and Hereford House.
for fried chicken....definitely Strouds.
food is my first love, then sharp pointy things..

moro kris:
the wire wrapped circles seem similar to this one:

any coincidence?

Very nice kris!

Now that I've made the obligatory (but deserved) on-topic comment, let me suggest that gastronomic nirvana may only be found on a path running through Philadelphia. Specifically, a "steak wit" (Cheesesteak sandwich with onions) from Steve's Prince of Steaks at Bustleton & Cottman in the Northeast.

Yum.

Sorry to digress, but a believe a gauntlet has been dropped (note how i try to tie my digression into weapons terminology

)
The idea that you can find better kosher deli in Ann Arbor than you can in NYC is like buying a Moro keris that's been made in.......well....Ann Arbor.

And i really don't mean any offense. Just the facts, ma'am.

Rick · 24th March 2006, 04:54 PM

Shelley , you're making my stent ache !!
I love all that good stuff !

You guys can sit around and jawbone about food ; but I'm looking at the hilt wrap and thinking about this also :

WHILE OFF TOPIC I CAN'T RESIST MENTIONING THE TIMONIUM GATHERING, A GREAT SHOW WITH LOTS OF TOP QUALITY ETHINOGRAPHIC WEAPONS, THE GATHERING AND PRESENTATIONS, HANGING OUT WITH ALL THE OTHER COLLECTORS AND LOOKING AT SOME OF THEIR COOL TREASURES. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE SEAFOOD IN BALTIMORE NOTABLY THE CRAB CAKES , IT DON'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THAT!!

I know Zingermans and w/o a doubt they make a sandwich to die for. But I have to vote for NYC for best deli in the US.

Finally, after all this time, someone came to their senses and agreed with me...

Congratulations, such a beautiful piece! I used to consider arab shamshirs (syrian and najdi) to have the best looking hilts. My view is completely changed the more I study the Keris. I must say that the craftmanship in a keris is one of the most beautiful. Too bad that I am cowering from buying a keris, I still need more studying.

Sorry for the hijack but can you point out what makes a Keris a Moro piece then any other philipino tribe? I always get impressed by the expertise of our members when they identify a Keris right to the ethnicy and tribe. You guys are a treasure!
