other than that, the ukkils are eerily similar. heck, everything else is similar. i mean, for those that collects moro krises, has anyone ever seen two krises that are THIS similar???

which begs another question: does the ring closest to the pommel somewhat loose, or by any chance, moveable???
The biggest difference I see is that Jose's has one baca-baca and Piang's has two. Otherwise they are virtually identical.
