A Strange Moro Twistcore Blade

Rick · 3rd July 2017, 03:24 PM

I acquired one of these krisses some years ago; albeit without the apparent tang repair. I have searched for the post without success; it could have been a brother to Charles' blade.
I have trouble understanding why a tang on a sword like this could break accidentally being something obviously created by a very talented smith.

Possibly the damage was done by Colonial forces with an eye toward rendering it useless; but why not just confiscate the weapon instead.
