yeah the moro kris is rather solid.. i dont see any failings with this,

but all the indonesian kris knives ive seen ,, one could snap the blade form the handle without a problem,, they are not stronger than a butter knife .. or one of those small german nicker knives form barvaria...... the very thin stick tang glued into a off set handle with a wavy blade , it all makes alot of stress on that little tang, aspecialy the un supported join od the tang ot the blade where the little furrel is, i wouldnt trus it for stabbing to save my life....

id sepculate they were purely for costume?? as in reality a big peice of wood or a stick would make a better weapon :P
now , that said , they shure look great.......

..as a side note about the kris knives,,,,, how old are they???imguessing they appeared in the last 200-300 years , as we know them today?? and spread into indonesia from the moros??
as i see the percursor of the indonesian kris seems to have been stright bladed and more as a long slightly leaf shaped blade???
dont realy no a massive amount about this topic.. so im only guessing
