Yo Rick, i see what you're saying... Here the thing tho; i gave up classifying krises to a certain tribe. I'm not saying totally, since there are distnct styles indigenous to a certain tribe, especially later. For instance, the last kris on the right is distinctly sulu. But see now, we're running into whether it's Sama or Tausug. If it's Sama, then which one? Then we see all these blades that contradict what's on Cato's book. So to classify that we say, it's traded
. Really? How 'bout the possibility that a certain panday moving to a certain locale?
Here's another situation: a certain Iranun approached a maranao panday to make him a kris. Question is, would the panday forge the blade based on how he was taught, or would he conform according to a supposedly a iranun style? Just something to chew on...
With that said, the pommel style you're inquiring about, Rick, if we still have to go by Cato's book, can also be seen in Sulu.
