Laminated Kris for comment

Pinoy Blade Hunter · 4th July 2017, 03:58 PM

I bought this kris recently because i liked that it was longer and wider than my other kris, it has 3 fuller lines, no separation line gangya.

i had cleaned it with 180,360, 400, 800, 1000 sandpaper then soaked in vinegar to etch. it showed some nice lamination patterns. i was hoping to find twist core somewhere but i can't.

the baca-baca is some brass alloy (it had greenish tarnish before i had cleaned it.)

the blade has some nice spring temper to it. and it is quite light for its size.

to my inexperienced eye, i would estimate the age of this blade to not older than WW2.

what do you guys think? i would appreciate your comments.

maraming salamat.
