from the examples I've seen from you, Vin, I'd say that the laraw made today are a load nicer than the N. Luzon cordilleran stuff produced when compared.

And now I find myself even more conflicted, as these are some very good points. I can see both sides of the argument at this point.

Gentlemen, I am convinced. It stays as-is. The most I will have done to it is a blade cleaning to remove any active rust. Perhaps a vinegar etch at a later time after I've had some more practice...

If it is indeed a hilt form from another culture, I will do my research and see what i can come up with.

Perhaps if I plan on restoring the Kris with cultural-approriate hilt, I will keep the old...

Twistcore kris with... erm.. Wha-- What is this?

An obviously cross-cultural piece. Beautiful, but very confusing to me.

The hilt seems unfamiliar to me, but the fact that the fittings on the hilt includes a small attatchment shaped like the...

This is partly why I wanted to post it here. I called it a slim panabas, because it was sold to me by its original owner as a panabas. It could very well not be one, most definitely.

Perhaps it...

The pattern on this blade and thickness is comparable to a Gasa/Pira I own. Perhaps it's a Yakan blade? Just conjecture on my part.


The blade is 50cm (19.75 inches) and the handle is 23cm (9...

Very nice example, but I echo lew's statement, that it doesn't have a scabbard and the nut at the buttend is not original..... So you're better off sending it over to me :p

Slim Panabas. Other examples?

Well done, Jose! I am a big fan of your restoration work.

The second kris -- What material is the handle made of? I remember seeing this for sale but the pictures then were confusing as well.
