			Hello Henri, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	best and shortest explanation you will find here: "Tangkis- a means of warding off, or a shield; a blade is said to have pamor tangkis when it carries a different pamor motif on each of its blade faces, and this is considered to be a talisman against black magic." It is a citation from a site of a member here but by some reason don't want to provide the link.   BTW, nice blade! Regards, Detlef  |
