Michael,
This sword although called a Kris is from the Philippines and we discuss them in the Ethnographic forum, (sorry if this is a bit confusing) but in the Keris Forum we only discuss the keris's from Indonesia and the surrounding area.

Philippine/Moro krisses are sword sized and have somewhat differing cultural aspects from their smaller Indonesian relatives.

So, off to Ethno this one goes.
