A kris, and a gunong
It's been a while since I had anything new to share. Here is my latest. The kris is 28" overall with a 23 3/4" blade. The baca baca is iron or steel, and the hilt needs some wrapping. The gunong has a 5 3/8" blade, and is 9" overall. Both have pattern welded blades.
Thanks for looking, Steve

SEA weapons are not my thing, but it looks like two nice blades found the perfect new home. Great job on the etching, I only wish I could get subtle patterns to pop out like that.
Regards, Teodor |

The kris looks Maranao and perhaps late 19c. I like some of the laminations on it. Too bad the hilt was rehilted and torn apart.....
 The gunong -  But then again, you are the king (or datu) of gunongs.

Hello Steve,
It's great to see you posting your new additions. Really like the blade on the kris. I don't even want to guess how many gunongs you've got in your collection by now. Thanks for sharing.Robert |
