The Moro Sabre: Questioning the Reason for its Existence

Although I still think there is an exotic nature to this type of saber for the Moros, you folks also have a point for being a special method of working this weapon in combat. A similar idea works for the kris with waves/luks all through the blade - only works in the hands of a specially skilled warrior or else it will bounce off within a second only with a minimum of cutting efficiency. Thus most combat kris preferred by Moro fighters are the straight ones.
