Moro Sulu Kriss with Elongated Silver Hoof Pommel

I just got this one back from a badly needed blade polish. Sulu hoof pommels are not rare, but this elongated silver one struck me as both elegant and unusual. The grip is wrapped in thin black cord and silver bands. The blade shows about 50-60% of its original silver inlay.

The blade is very nicely forged in a "hairpin" laminated pattern that might be just as much at home on a Tibetan or Nepalese sword pattern-wise. You can see the folding and tempering has been very carefully controlled. Generally I don't like my Moro blades quite this dark, but in this case it really highlights the blade's finer features.

The scabbard is new.

Size: 29in. overall; 22.5in. blade; 6.5in hilt length; 3in. pommel length
