Hi Cannonmn,

No problems; I'm more than happy to have the discussion on your moro kris brought over to this thread. Maybe you could do a little search on past threads for "kris" and you will see many much finer examples of Moro krises owned by other forumnites here.

Its an interesting question about whether my kris is a separate-ganja piece or not. Initially, I thought a line on the metal itself would suggest a separate ganja, however, recently I learned that sometimes, such a line was chiselled into the blade to give an illusion of a separate ganja. So I'm not so sure anymore. My piece has a line, and a slight wedge-shaped gap at the aring end. Not sure if that is proof of a separate ganja.
