Moro kris for comment

sorry, do I see this correctly that the patterned part is two thin sheet applied on the two sides?

Yes, when you want to describe it like this.

xasterix, I really like your kris!

I have always been intrigued by the similarities between Moro twist core kris and spears and early to mid medieval European pattern-welded blades. In the European material, the central pattern-welded panels may be full thickness twisted, stacked rods or very frequently applied as a veneer over an untwisted core.

I previously presented an example of a kris, that with the benefit of having it in hand, did appear to be made with twisted, stacked full thickness rods.

I'm glad you like it Lee! It's great to see that straight twistcore kris of yours again...I'll admit, ever since I started collecting blades (around 2018), it's been one of my inspirations in hunting for exemplary krises!
