Indonesian Knife

[Lew]

Ok Guys

What is this called and where is it from?? The blade is 6 inches long.

Based on the sheath it looks like a Siraui from central Sumatra.
The handle and blade isn't that typical for a Siraui however.
Does the knife fit perfect in the sheath?

Hello Lew,

I'd suggest a generic "Pisau" - can't place the scabbard with certainty but wouldn't be surprised if the whole piece were from Sumatra.

Hello Michael,

Western central Sumatra, i. e. Minang Kabau?

Hi Kai,

I noticed that they also were found in Jambi, that's why I suggested central Sumatra.
Also I am not that confident in that the knife belongs to the sheath?

The knife fits perfectly into the scabbard.

Hi Lew,

Then you have a very unusual knife for that scabbard. :confused:
Usually the hilt and blade looks like this.
