Kino,
I dont know where the chevron pattern was used, other than in India that was why I was surprised to see it in your kris.
The chevron pattern was used quite late, to show a master smith, and as trading in the area was intense, some kris smith might have wanted to 'copy' it. Anyway, the one who made the blade must have been a master, as the pattern welded pieces have a special pattern, which is very nice.
Do you anywhere on the blade see a flaw between the pieces?

Centuries before this blade was made, the Indian's had colonies in the SE, but these two things cant have anything to do with each other.
