yes, that's a nice kris luma indeed! Maguindanao. so you think the hilt was recently rewrapped? maybe it's just me, but the handle is not proportionally sized to the blade. kinda look too big. maybe the angle in which it was taked?
but anywho, you got a nice one, carlos...

Hello Guys,

It's kinda hard to know if the handle is too big for the blade if you don't actually hold it in your hand :p Anyway carlos congratulation on your new Moro Kris. However, I have to agree with you Spunjer that is a nice kris ;)

The kakatua is remarkably large (almost Junggayan size) for such a simple interpretation .
A very nice sword .
