twist core kris for comment

Pinoy Blade Hunter · 1st March 2018, 12:47 AM

here are a few more pictures and measurement.

the blade is 19 inches long, weighs about a pound ( i dont have an appropriate weighing scale, i weighed it versus 1.5 pounds dumbel)

the thickest part of the blade is 1/2 inch, tapering to 1/16th

the lines running along the blade are getting faint, yeah maybe rough sanding from previous owners.

the middle part of the blade (along the length) is not deeper but thicker.

the ferule shows 1 notch

This is a very interesting blade you have acquired. Hopefully more information can be gleaned from our panel of experts. Thumbs up for your new sword

i decided to have a new hilt and scabbard made for this old sword.
it was made by a tausug blacksmith artisan in zamboanga.

comparing it to my other kris with original hilt, the newer hilt is on the chunky side hahaha. but the okkir is still there, and the string binding was still traditionally done.

not blingy, not a restoration, but modern furniture on an old blade.

more pics and the whole story on my blog:
