  (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 Last edited by LOUIEBLADES; 14th February 2007 at 02:29 PM. |

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. |

Nice Rick!
It would be great to also see other examples as a reference? Michael |

 What's interesting about this one is that there are 4 twist bars incorporated; they join where the 'arrow point' is found on swords such as these and yet there is no sculpting or heavy etching done to bring these features out ....  A kind of 'stealth' construction with no showiness .
