Hello Tatyana,
Congrats, neat first kalis! I do like the blade, too...
I think you should toss that replacement hilt; doesn't suit this nice kris blade at all (looks like Luzon work to me). Antique hilts are very tough to come by - I bet Jose has already a nice hilt design for this piece in his mind though...

Definitely (after gentle cleaning; much easier to work on a bare blade). I don't see any evidence for twistcore but IMHO the blade/laminations should be brought back to life, anyway!
Regards,
Kai
