Robotic Kris

[kai]

Hello Ron & Gustav,

even if the blade has not been reshaped, it is indeed odd to see the narrower fuller being closer to the inner blade.

If I recall correctly those kris with narrow, asymmetric fuller that I've seen, it is generally placed along the lower (working) edge. Indeed somewhat counter-intuitive and I've failed so far to come up with a functional reason (or convincing working hypothesis) for this configuration.

Regards,
Kai

good observation, kai! even on some symmetrical blades, they have the same type of configuration. odd, really...
