Hello Detlef,

Here is another dagger with the same general blade shape, pommel from albino horn but sadly without scabbard, it's 25,5 cm long (10.2").

Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Looks like a nice knife with good age, probably antique. Let me know if you ever get bored with it...
Incidentally, I obtained a twin of Rick's knife this year and also have an antique version coming in (shown below). The scabbard seems to be quite characteristic; blades and hilts exhibit some variability though.
Without an extant scabbard and yet another blade and hilt styles, your knife may or may not be closely related to the other examples. I hope some more similar Sumatran knifes will show up to close the gaps; I feel we've barely started to scratch the surface considering the diversity of Sumatran piso (and daggers in general)...
Regards,
Kai
