I was also watching this auction in amazement. Seems like a hefty price for such a new kris of fairly low quality manufacture. I hope it's new owner knew what he was buying.

Thumbs up

Well, I agreed with that assessment. I just didn't make the connection between it being a tourist piece and zamboanga's definition.

Unhappy

Uuuh, my first thought was: "That are the ugliest luks I've seen in a while!"
I wonder wether a slow-learning apprentice needed several tries at grinding them and ended up with such a slender blade.

BTW, here's another beauty: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6558531546
(I had a good laugh discovering the baca-baca-like "feature"...)

Regards,
Kai
