Can anyone translate indonesian,please ? If so I need the translation of gagang daun tebu. I believe it is the same as hulu meu apet but it is very possible I am wrong

Thanks in advance

I don't speak the language, but just through a dictionary search i found the following which may or may not apply:
gagang daun tebu
I found no translation for gagang
Daun can be a leaf, frond, blade, something vegetative.
Tebu can be molasses, sugar, something related to the sugar cane.
Of course, these words together could take on a completely different nature.
I am sure others with more knowledge will weigh in since i believe we have more tham a few Indonesian speakers here. :)

Thanks a bunch
the spike on the end of these swords has been likened to a sugar cane sprout, so that helps me

gagang daun tebu = handle of a sugar-cane leaf. ;)
