This is a real fighting Kris sword. The blade is 21 inches long, wavy, double edged and deadly sharp. It is constructed from a laminated steel core forge welded between high carbon heat treated edges. The handle is wood, bound with heavily lacquered braided fiber, with finely carved hardwood Cockatoo style pommel. One steel clamp is securing the blade in the handle. Total length 26 inches. Very good condition. Minor chip to the pommel tip. Very good sword. All parts original and authentic. No replacements and/or repairs.
