I got this one today. The seller said it was an Indonesian handle, dating from before 1940. That's all she knows.
Perhaps some forumite might 'enlighten' me. If possible, can someone show me one with a blade.
The handle is made out of wood, with the lower portion covered with metal wire. The top has two man made holes, which don't connect.
Total length : 14,5 cm.
