RICK;
I found this picture of the Kris that Al Pendray made out of his wootz.
Sorry for the image size but it is all I could find.
I have been searching for it for a while. It has a jade handle that was made by someone other than
Mr. Pendray but do not know just who, for someone in Hawaii if I remember correctly, will keep on searching.

Andrew or
RICK remove it.
Sculpted Jade
and Wootz Kris
"An exquisite collaboration between Broadwell and Alfred Pendray. Features Pendray's Wootz damascus steel forged to shape on the 20" blade, including the raised center ridge. Exceptional forging! Jade handle with bronze fittings. All sculpting and carving, as well as all blade grinding and finishing, done by Broadwell. By far the most difficult and time consuming art project to date, this magnificent piece was commissioned as a showpiece for a private collection."
