It is telling of the craft of such a blade that it can make itself understood viewing only this much of the blade.

Thank you David, and I understand your point although it is not my philosophy.
I take this opportunity to inform the members that I will soon publish a new book about kris hilts showing about 250 pieces, those of you who are interested to get a copy can PM me in order to better estimate how many I should print.
