Moro Kris with Twist Core

Spunjer · 30th September 2005, 11:35 AM

philkid,

i'm with battara on this one. for starters, it appears to be that the twisted core is not a common type of kris. i also believe that whatever's left there (swords in general) are closely guarded family secret. i was informed by my uncle (by marriage) who's a muslim, that there'a a belief among the moro people that to part with pusakas (heirlooms) are considered very bad luck. i'm not saying everyone believe in this, but for the few (and i mean, very few!) that sell their family heirloom anyway, the chances of it having a twisted core like the one above is very, very slim...
