twist core kris for comment
Hello,
i now have my very own twist core kris! hurray! hahaha I saw it sitting in a antiques shop, all rusty, what interested me was the carving near the gangya (i dont know what it's called). it is deep, clear and precise. it also has some battle scars on the edges, like it has been to war edge to edge combat. the handle is coming off, the scabbard does not fit. i think the ferule is silver. can you guys please tell me more about this blade? i tried to clean in with: wd40, then sanded 1000, then soaked quickly in vinegar to check if it was indeed twist core. and i was pleasantly surprised that it was! i am cleaning it now, soaking in vinegar, then wipe with wd40 then sand 800,1000. there are lots more to be done, i know. |
