Worth It ?

Well, I'm also not fond of this kris.

However, the blade has a separate gangya. I'd like to see the Sulu blade cleaned and etched properly but I'd hazard a guess that this isn't a tourist blade. The hilt and scabbard have likely been added later as suggested (Mindanao).

Regards,
Kai

Every bit of this puppy is recent. Even the hilt is recent. The is not the greatest compared to the older examples. I'm not too crazy about this,but if like new stuff.....
