I am also really curious what XXXXXXX got when you swapped for the Panabas?

double twist core - good for taking impact stress and good for looks when etched. Not too common of a construction for Moro pieces. They also seem to be on earlier pieces and not seen so much on later pieces.

What about those kris and barongs?
