twist core kris for comment

i decided to have a new hilt and scabbard made for this old sword.
it was made by a tausug blacksmith artisan in zamboanga.

comparing it to my other kris with original hilt, the newer hilt is on the chunky side hahaha. but the okkir is still there, and the string binding was still traditionally done.

not blingy, not a restoration, but modern furniture on an old blade.

more pics and the whole story on my blog:
