Default Datu kris! Very Nice LUKS!!!

Hi guys its been a while since I posted here. Somehow I cannot access the forum for about a month ot two. Here is a datu kris. Comments appreciated.

This puppy has the most luks I have seen on a kris. Overall its a nice kris. Problem is the ivory pommel has a small chip on it. Blade is solid, thick, sharp and you can see it is laminated even in the pics. Item measures 31.58in. overall. Blade alone is 25in. from tip of gangya to tip of blade. Hilt and pommel is 7.25in. combined.

Just go to this link and click "Datu kris"

Correction: Also the wrappings on the hilt is not its original. The original probably has deteriorated.
