For me it's mainly the scabbard construction with the horn throat, the blade shape and to a lesser degree the style of the carving and the embossing on the siver mounts. Compare with another Sumatran...

Like you can see, shows the scabbard a tribal repair and the handle shows an encrusted patination, both I want to preserve.

I've won a German auction with a lot of two swords, a belatu from North Nias and a pedang from Sumatra. When the auction was finished I noticed in another, unsold lot the charm ball for the scabbard...

Like I stated before, I am not knowledgeable about these ritual objects. But I would guess that this ornate one was worked for rich tourists or collectors. I've found a similar...

Hi Ian,
Yes, I know that it's said that early blades have a round tang. But frankly I haven't seen enough early blades without handles to verify this, but it seems reasonable. But there is still the...

Hi Ian,

This gap between blade and gangya seems by these archaic blades not an uncommon feature. See one of my kris.

Hello Ian,

I think that it's a Southern Thai working knife for a special purpose. The handle is similar to the Thai rotan splitting knives.
