Question

What's the blade length of yours, Ben?
(Difficult to estimate from the pics...)

Regards,
Kai

Hi Dajak,

I think your 57 cm blade falls within the "normal" size range for the Moro kris. The antiques that I've personally handled have ranged from 47-58 cm. I've seen more recent made blades that are up to around 65 cm long.
