Hi Shelly,

Suggest that you make a new post. We need to keep this thread focussed on VVV beautiful kris.

I will be happy to give you my limited opinion. You may know that I have been collecting this kind of kris less than a year.

You are very kind in your compliments, and coming from a collector of your stature, this is high praise, but I have neither vast experience, nor knowledge of kris.

My vast experience and knowledge, such as it is, is in investment real estate.

I can certainly give you better answers in this arena, but I do know a little about your piece. Suggest that you make a new post and lets continue this discussion there.

My very warmest regards,

Bill

Thank you again. I will wait and see if "the Moderators can start a thread" for you.

But really think that we should keep this thread focussed on VVV. I am sure that you understand.

LabanTayo · 12th February 2007, 09:23 PM

Totally understand.
BTW, Nice kris Michael.

Thanks Shelley,

I like yours too. Seems to have at least one V...

If you really want to discuss your Kris, Shelley, feel free to start a new thread yourself. You don't need a mod's assistance to do so.

(Just kidding) Interesting I have only seen the twisted core on Chinese dao swords and some Moro kris do you think there is a connection between the two? Could this kris have been made my a Chinese smith or a Moro smith that might have picked up the technique from China?

Congrats,

Lew

VVV -
when I better etch the blade I may then post my similar kris.

Louis -
Other tribes have made twist core. Twist core seems to be on older Moro pieces than later ones. I have a Bagobo sword that has 2 rows of twist core "turkish ribbon" on it.
