To add, having this good profile blade and that high balung pekaka hilt is a bonus. You may also want to buffer polish the scabbard and the stem (sampir and batang) to make it even better.

Geee......

Bapak Hidayat,
I had the same thinking too after viewing all the pictures. All illustration differs. So do we choose to believe one pamor that look like a skewed locust?? :o

One of those examples of good blade. Nice I must say. My preference, I like to have slightly etch with warangan to see slightly darkened, making it more fierce looking I thought.

I do agree with Kai. Looking at this also, the whole may have some bits of Bugis, Sulewesi and Sumatra.

It looks to me that the wrangka is not timoho. I could see the flashing grain like kemuning wood. The contrast dark/black pattern on the wood I found here is not like a typical timoho. :shrug:
