Hello,
Unless I've got it wrong so far, pamor on Indo-Maly keris is a patern-welded jacket of soft nickle-iron that covers a hard steel core. Moro kris have a soft patern-welded core surrounded by the hard steel edge, so the resulting structure is different.
If these two things are taken to be the same, then would Indian patern-weld also qualify as pamor? Would Turkish Ribbon or Scandinavian twist-cores? Is pamor to denote just the look of the blade, regardless of structure?
Regards,
Emanuel
