Sorry about the key board.........


Yeah I was pretty pleased. The blade had a modern ivory pommel and white metal hilt. The blade was in rough shape - rust, severe pitting, etc. I had to do a lot of grinding and polishing. Baka-baka clamps are silver and the inlay. I added the brass parts to the clamps and under the hilt (per Maguindanao tradition).

Still, Philkid did a great job of getting the right kind of blade - right period, right tribe, right status. Couldn't get a better blade - Thanks Philkid!


Perhaps next year I will make a new scabbard out of the old scabbard for this one. It has become my favorite kris out of all I have so far.
