Ah yes, that is my son's kris. I was taking pics of it for a friend.

Here are the pics. It did not look this good initially. Was heavily rusted and bent.

That is a nice kris. Love that okir work. Would like to see it etched.
Any before photos when it was rusty and bent. Your son is lucky.

Should be able to post some later this week. Leaving out of town on bisiness shortly. Yes, he initially wanted a Kampilan. The kris came along first
