New Moro Kris: need opinion

You folks are way too kind.

Oh, Rick, as far as the "big head" is concerned - too late.

Yes, I agree - worth restoration and I would be glad to do so.

Jose,
I sent you PM.

OK, folks, this is my first attempr at etching. RadioShack etching solution, diluted 1: 5, held for ~30 seconds.
I guess, I earned a "Gentleman's C" for effort, but the quality is unlikely to be satisfactory for Moro afficionados. BTW, if we have Dhafiosos, do we have Moron-ians?

Woops, I am afraid I am stepping on too many toes....

Seriously, how does it look? It seems the edge is hardened and there is some pattern even in the center of the blade.

Did you neutralize the etchant thoroughly ?
I spy some new looking rust .

/Moronians indeed !!

Jose , charge him double .

Buenas Tardis Ariel,

Off course you'll earn that gentleman's c. from me, that's a wonderful kris alright, you also earn the right to brag! but you don't need to be so fiesty about it! And to answer your question, the only "Moron-ians I see. . . . . is you!

Thanks! I have a couple of good Moro Krises and a great Panabas and , with the acqusition of this one, I feel an organic bond with esteemed Moro-nian Forumites. Just need to find a transitional form of a sword, something like Kampi-shashka
Will you adopt me, guys?

Only if you call us Philiphiles ..........

/Moronians indeed !
Harumph .....
