![]() Does it make any sense? Someone said it means “good”, “correct”, but others said it didn’t make any sense. The bottom one that’s etched, seems too elaborate to mean nothing. Thanks. |

![]() Hi Ian, did your hilt have the tenon as opposed to a mortise like Tanaruz’ hilt? Is the pommel solid silver or does it have a wood core? It looks nice. Good job Jose! |

![]() It's too narrow to be a remounted N.Philippine spear blade. Here’s a dagger from the Philippines that has a similar blade profile. Like Shayde78’s dagger, the scalloped edges are unsharpened. |

![]() Xasterix, I saw how this Kris cuts, pretty sharp blade. I like the way you tested it. Did this Kris come with the hilt or did you have it commissioned? |
