Really nice. I like that you left it with some character. Surprised to hear the blade is light with that thick spine and long/wide blade. Does it handle like a barung?

At first glance this appears to be a tenegre, albeit with a narrower profile than most. However, this one is ground on both sides and the top 1/3 is sharpened.

Indonesian sword?

Does anyone recognize this style of sword? It originally had hair from pommel and foot of scabbard. It has an Indonesian feel to me.
