Dave and Lonna's recent find a Moro Kris

We have all seen twist-core krises, campilons, panabas, i have been
lucky enough to get a twist-core bolo, but has anyone ever seen a twist-
core barong. I don't recall ever seeing or hearing about someone owning
one. I suspect that there has to be one somewhere floating about...Dave

Rick: It might be like some Javanese kris. Very heavily etched to produce
a very rough blade. Could this panel also have been forged separately and
then welded into the blade as a completely separate piece?......Dave.

IMHO, i don't think it's feasible nor practical to have a twistcore in a barung due to its shape, reason why we haven't seen any...
