Hello Tim,

I have to say they look pretty rough stuff compered to mine

Keep in mind that these repairs are probably quite a bit older than that on your kris. I've seen quite a few more examples but would have a hard time to pull out the pics... Some of these are on par with yours but I can't remember any as short.

Regards,
Kai

Could it be that Tim's repair is due to a forging flaw and subsequent loss of material in that area??

Is it the same on the other side of the blade Tim?

Yes it is the same on both sides. I am not sure what age has to do with rough work
