Pamor to me is the pattern in the steel controlled or otherwise. So yes Moro kris in general have pamor. I have a klewang and a tulwar which both exhibit the classic grasshopper tooth pattern the klewang's pattern is considered pamor so why not the tulwar. On the other hand if the word pamor is being used only to describe specific patterns to enhance the owners luck health or to keep evil spirits away than maybe we are talking about two different things? Do Moro kris makers incorporate certain patterns to inhance a warriors spiritual powers or are these patterns just an artistic expression of said makers craft?
