Another Interesting SEA knife for ID 'Tumbok Lada'

Another one that I'm not familiar with.
The original collectors notes called it a 'Tumbok Lada'.
Not a blade type I've seen before, have a good look, it's quite strange.

Any thoughts? Age?

Possibly in this family ? :shrug:

The hilt is so small that it must be grasped in the 'edge up' grip.

Yes mate, definately 'edge up'. Weird little thing isn't it?

IIRC, mate either TVV or VVV had an example similar to mine and he had a name for it .

Are you Guys out there ?

Judging from post #20 in that thread I'll guess Karih as the designation .

So this would be a karih .............

Rick 12th June 2011 02:29 AM
My guess Jose . :shrug:
Not quite the same blade form but vaguely similar ?

Interesting piece. The blade looks like it could be a salvaged sword blade. Not something in the standard catalog but would most likely qualify as a badik. The silverwork suggests Sumatra or perhaps Riau.

Interesting nice little dagger. Unusual that it was used two different wood for the sheat. I would vote for Sumatra as well. When you boring it one day I would be happy to give it a new home! :D
