Nice strong edge...I can clearly see the risk factors of your testing but ....I know that these are quality blades. Compared to some of the ones I had which was not made from a quality bladesmith which resulting in blade chipping "pingas". I can trust the worksmanship on yours definitely. Maraming salamat to my kababayans back home who were in this vid. And thanks for posting this.

@rmakdad PeTA'll have a field day and ask youtube to ban it.

@copypacercopypacer ahm not much from the northern areas, but since the country in pre-spanish times are pretty much under a "unique" muslim religion, then most weapons might just be similar to those from the south.
since im from the mountainous north, spears are the norm. but from the 'Cordillera' area most have their own non christian religion.

@nakazatoGTR Can you explain more what you mean here. I would appreciate anything you know about these weapons. Its hard to find true history on all of them.

@RonOrGina my dad's kriss was actually recovered from a grave of a certain datu in mindanao, bought it when he went on vacation in bacolod
the blade has some evidence of pitting but not so much as to degrade and weaken the metal. he used it one day to cut off some overgrowth and accidentally cut up the metal chainfence.. sorry i have no idea of what datu, but thats what my dad says.

@nakazatoGTR Many old Krises back in the old days were formed from the rich iron of a meteor. The way it cut through that fence, my guess is thats what it was made of. Thats a lucky find actually. You should send me pictures if you can.
