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?

Let's get back to swords quickly ; I can feel my arteries clogging just from *reading* this thread .
