I PERSONALLY WOULD LOOK INTO THIS ITEM A BIT MORE BEFORE I RUSHED TO DISCARDED THE CURRENT HANDLE AND MAKE IT MORE NORMAL. AT PRESENT IT IS UNIQUE AND FROM THE PICTURES THE HANDLE DOSEN'T LOOK LIKE SOME RECENT POORLY DONE JOB BY AN UNSKILLED WESTERNER. HOW IS THE BALANCE DOES THE HANDLE FIT THE BLADE PROPERLY FOR ACTUAL USE IN BATTLE. I WOULD THINK IT IS MORE LIKELY TO BE OF ASIAN DESIGN AND BUDHIST SPECIFICALLY. CHECK THE TWO DECORATIVE BUTTONS AS WELL AS THEY MAY BE OF SOME SIGNIFICANCE. THE CORD OR WIRE MAY SHED SOME INFORMATION AS WELL, IS IT SILK?. WITH A BIT OF RESEARCH SOME OF THIS KRIS STORY MAY BE REAVEALED. WITH A NEW HANDLE YOU WILL HAVE ANOTHER NICE BLADE WITH A NEW HANDLE. AT PRESENT IT MAY NOT BE OF ABSOLUTE PURE FORM BUT IT IS A BIT OF A MYSTERY. IS THE WORKMANSHIP GOOD AND ARE THE METAL FITTINGS CHEAP OR DO THEY SHOW AGE AND GOOD WORKMANSHIP THIS SHOULD HELP TO DETERMINE YOUR COURSE OF ACTION. NICE ONE I LIKE IT.
