Moro Sword for comments!

[nechesh]

I wonder, this sword has ron dha and greneng which is much more alike to keris blades than the Moro kris. Could this blade possible be of Malay origin?

Sorry Nechesh ..

No need to be sorry Rick....unless you mean for show me that sweet kris of yours again!
Even so, the greneng on Punals example seems even more Malay than yours. Not sure if that really means anything. Then again, i'm sure that there might be someone out there (not me) who might argue a Malay origin for your example as well.

Easier to compare greneng like this .
Punal's example would not allow for a second asang asang .
Also the greneng do not go as far down the blade .
Or is it the difference in curvature ?

Yes Rick, i am referring to the actual shapes of the ron dha not the placement.

Hello, please excuse an uninformed observer. What do the terms greneng and ron dha refer to? Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving to all the American forumites.
