The partly wavy 20⅛-inch blade gives this hand-forged Kris Tulsiko a striking silhouette. Its curves lead into a longer, straighter tip, while intricate fittings at the base create a second focal point where blade and hilt meet.
Dense scroll carving covers the wood scabbard, punctuated by three gold-colored metal bands. A carved hilt and dark cord wrapping complete the presentation. At 27 inches overall and 1.74 lb without the scabbard, this Kris brings blade shape, carved wood and decorative metalwork together as a potential centerpiece for a collection.
Hand-forged using traditional methods in the southern Philippines, this full-tang piece reflects the Moro kris traditions of Mindanao. For collectors and Filipino Martial Arts enthusiasts, its appeal extends from the blade's outline to the work surrounding it.
