A moro(?) spearhead to share

thomas hauschild · 3rd November 2019, 02:48 PM

One of the lucky stories. There was a report of my knifemaking in a magazin and a guy notes my telephonenumber and called me. He was from nearby and told me that there is a „dagger“ blade in his workshop. He can‘t remember when he got it , but if I like I can pick it up for free. What a luck. I‘m sure it is from indonesia, maybe moro, but I‘m not sure about moro. Any comment will be welcome.

My guess is Indonesia but not from Jawa.

Defintely not Moro!

As I understand it, Moro spears have a square tang, and Indonesian a round one....
And still a damn fine piece to have.
