I previously presented an example of a kris, that with the benefit of having it in hand, did appear to be made with twisted, stacked full thickness rods.
I'm glad you like it Lee! It's great to see that straight twistcore kris of yours again...I'll admit, ever since I started collecting blades (around 2018), it's been one of my inspirations in hunting for exemplary krises!
