Wow, beautiful pattern and twistcore, can you show please the complete kris?
I also don't think that greneng and kembang kacang (katik) are reshaped, worn yes but doubt that this areas are reshaped. Regards, Detlef |

The blade came up decent? That's an understatement! Gorgeous!

The scabbard and the handle came together with a broken blade, luckily the clamp fits perfectly, so its just basically transferring the hardware to the new blade, with some grinding to the mouth of the scabbard. I got this at an antique store in Yuma, Arizona. |

Chris: Two great looking twist-cores. You did really good. I think both would go late 1800s to very early 1900s. Can't do much better than that. Haven't seen you since the Pasadena Knife Show. That was more than a few years ago................Dave.

Hello Chris,
Congrats, great score! (No idea how I missed this thread...) I'm not sure if I would have changed the hilt - I believe this kris originally had 2 clamps. The "new" hilt with silver braiding is very nice though! Regards, Kai |
