Looks like a Luzon version of a Moro kris.

Ouch!!!

Carlos, I am so sorry to see what happened to your lovely old knife. That must have been some force to bend and crack it like that. I hope you had shipping insurance or the seller is willing to make good on a refund.

I have had knives I purchased snap in half during shipping. Perhaps they had a forging flaw, but I suspect it resulted from carelessness by the shipper or the shipping company. I ship knives and swords in polyvinyl pipes and have never had anything damaged. A one-metre length of 100mm diameter PVC pipe costs me about AUD28.00. If possible, I cut it down to a size sufficient to accommodate the item (saves on weight and postage). I don't charge a buyer for materials, just postage. I'm willing to pay the AUD28 and not pass that cost on to the recipient, knowing that the item will definitely arrive safely and in one piece. Unless it's a tube, cardboard packaging is always subject to crushing, even from relatively minor forces. Even cardboard tubes can be damaged, for example, if something heavy falls on them. I have seen PVC tubes crack but never collapse from considerable force, such as being driven over

.

Some of the shipping companies used by auction houses are terrible. And they are expensive.
