Nice blade. I have one very very similar, and think both are recent manufacture. May I suggest you to provide better hilt and mendak?

Another similar piece from my collection and also recent, sorry for the picture quality.
I would like to mention that a specific problem frequently encountered when collecting recently made krisses is that there are many twins on the market (from the same maker?), which is a bit irritating if you aim at owning unique pieces... Regards |

Jean,
You make an excellent point! The similarities are amazing. It would be interesting to know if they were forged by the same person. Dan |

Yeah, this is actually related to the other thread about collecting new krisses. It would be nice if Gio could show us his similar blade as well for comparison purpose. I attach another picture of my kris from the other side of the blade. Regards Jean |
