Dear Mgolab,

I don't need to have read books to judge what I see in your pictures as it is more than obvious that the piece is welded together. I am a mechanical engineer and did a lot of welding...

Hi WW,

I don't know if we can assign this contemporary knife to a specific ethnic group.
When the seller stated he had purchased it in Laos I would be happy with the description. ;)

The one I've shown I display without scabbard and handle, I have another one which has scabbard and handle. I think it's your choice! ;)

Like I stated before, I am in no way an expert by koummyas but I've handled a lot and when I would have kept them all I would have a nice collection of them. So all what I write here about them I've...

Hello Alan,

Sadly no! But I think that it's indeed a stylized makara handle, compare it with a pedang handle from Lombok. Another possible origin. ;)
When I am correct, we only have to look where...

To me it's a stylized makara handle, so a Sunda or Sumatra origin would be obvious to me.

I am for my part looking more for the signs of...

Hello David,

Also when you, like I know, are afraid to work on blades I would try a mild etch. The blade looks clean enough that the chance is high that it would show a pattern after it.

Hello Mgolab,

Allow me to ask, how did you de-rust the hammer head and finish its surface?

Thank you David! Yes, what we see here is caused by quenching of the blade, exactly what I've meant in post #5. :)

Thank you Marc! :)
My intention is not to make Rob's koummya bad, but to make it clear that what we see here is in no way a lamination in any way. ;)

Hello Rob,

I don't want to discuss if it is a koummya for use and wear, you have it in hand and I've learned by handling several koummyas that it can be tricky to distinguish between tourist ones...

Hello Rob,

I think what we see here is just the scratch from quenching. It's for sure not any damascus or pattern.
