Another Nice Example Of Moro Twist Core Steel
This is another nice example of the art of Moro twist core steel on a kriss that I believe dates no later than the early 19th century.
This is a very high contrast example. Note also the pattern welded ganja. Observations and comments welcomed! |

Yes, this is Sulu and does look like turn of the 18th/19th to early 19th century. Congrats, Charles!
How long is the blade? Any hints that the asang-asang may be a replacement? Regards, Kai |

Yes love the twistcore. I agree with Kai on all points, including the question of the asang-asang possibly being later.
