VERY nice forum ya'll have here! Ive learned that Kris knife info is hard to find, or at least credible info on authentic knives anyway! VERY cool knives I never knew even exsisted. Some beautiful knife and knife pics here!

These belong to a freind of mine that is elderly and not computer literate. I volunteered to get him some info on them...way easier said than done! Most knives I found were repros...with no info. He picked them up sometime during his stint in the Navy. Someone who looked at them years ago that susposedly knew about these knives said they were authentic and had been dug YEARS ago. Susposedly dug up from graves, which was outlawed(?) years and years ago. Susposedly a couple of hundred years old(?)

ANY and all info would be very much appreciated as I know just about as much about brain surgery as I (or my friend) know about these knives. Type of wood, the proper name, type of steel....

A friend off a gun forum knew of you guys and said this was a great site with knowledgable and friendly people, I concur with him as Ive "lurked" a little

As for me, I had never heard of these neat knives until I saw his, in other words I don't know anything about them, and he knows little more. From Java, and I think one blade is Damascus steel(?)

ANY info regarding the type, history etc., would be very much appreciated, and no, he does not plan on selling them. So Im not looking for a "forum" appraisal...he believes they are maybe worth about $300 each, but that is no biggie, as he just thinks after owning them for over 50 years he'd like to know more about them.

They look way better than the pics of them I took for him. Thanks a lot in advance for the info!

...the other one
