Wicked 33 cm Swing Guard Kris Custom

Well, I finally figured out how to draw this style blade in CAD, and to size it for any length or width blade. The problem is, I don't think anyone would be willing to build it for me!

I was just browsing through here today and saw this post I missed.

That would be one beautiful big old swinger and would be superb with the kriss blade shape. 8)

I have no kriss blades in my collection and would love one eventually but they seem to be much less available than the other blade types.

Have none of the available custom makers attempted a Kriss blade shape or is there another reason you think it would be difficult to have made?

Nice knife that i for one would like to see in the flesh ....if you can pull some strings with your freinds that is.

All the best

I suspect that it takes some specialty jig. Pat Havlin grinds them, and they are plentiful in Pakistan. Give me some time, perhaps it will happen. Thanks for the kind words.
