Hello Rick,

While I am not as familiar with the keris construction, this blade has a central core of mechanical twistcore sandwiched with nice lamellar cheeks.

That's another point I was going to bring up. The twist core already present in archaic Moro kris is quite different (from 2 bars, only in the middle of the blade) from this example (which is basically identical with the classic keris blade construction).

I have also seen a number of Moro pieces with well defined chiseling at the forte as in this example.

We're not talking about the nice chiseling per se but rather the style in which it's executed - different from what I've seen in Moro kris...
Regards,
Kai
