A small Kris

It arrived yesterday, I haven't had a chance to take a picture yet. I cleaned it off and gave it a once over with vinegar - the core of the blade turns a much lighter color than the cheeks. I don't see any lamination patterns yet.

The dark/light steel comes up much better on one side over the other
unfortunately the good side is nearly entirely covered in corrosion.
