Hi Jose,
I don't have your experience with Luzon Kris.
Those I have seen have more the "usual" sword handle and slimmer blades.
Do you have examples of Illocano Kris that resembles mine?
I am aware of the Filipino flag symbolism but on the star please develop (I don't get it). Do you mean that the star is a sun with 6 rays???
