My first moro kris

A VERY NICE WAY TO START A COLLECTION OF MORO KRIS

, VERY NICE WIRE WORK ON THE GRIP AND A VERY DISTINTIVE SCABBARD I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE QUITE LIKE IT. THE USE OF DIFFERENT COLORS OF FIBER TO FORM A PATTERN LOOKS ALMOST DAYAK, THEY USE DIFFERENT COLORS AND PATTERNS IN THEIR BASKETS. THEY SOMETIMES USE INTRICATE FIBER KNOTS TO HOLD THEIR SCABBARDS TOGETHER AND WITH PITCH TO HOLD COLORED TUFTS OF HAIR ON THEIR SCABBARDS. A INTERESTING AND ATTRACTIVE FIRST MORO KRIS WITH POSSIBLE NON PHILIPPINE INFLUENCES

DELI FOOD

REAL FOOD IS BBQ, STEAK, FRIED CHICKEN AND CATFISH!!

somebady say BBQ? then you need to come to Kansas City. Arthur Bryants, Gates and LC's. the cooks that chop up the burnt ends would feel real comfortable with a binangon or mandau.

and for steaks, we have the Majestic and Hereford House.
for fried chicken....definitely Strouds.
food is my first love, then sharp pointy things..

moro kris:
the wire wrapped circles seem similar to this one:

Very nice kris!

Now that I've made the obligatory (but deserved) on-topic comment, let me suggest that gastronomic nirvana may only be found on a path running through Philadelphia. Specifically, a "steak wit" (Cheesesteak sandwich with onions) from Steve's Prince of Steaks at Bustleton & Cottman in the Northeast.

Yum.

Yes Andrew, but aren't we comparing the proverbial apple with the orange?

Back on topic, my question would be that if Eftihis' sword is from Africa or the Sinai, who taught whom this wrap? Is it traditional to other Moro swords or are it's origins further east?
