Another lookup shows that UKI could also be an acronym for United Kingdom and Ireland (UKI)

.

Bendo (java)/benda (malay) literally translated means 'a thing'.

Here is my parang pendek, a 1982 piece, with a spring steel blade. Check out the stamping on the blade. Just a comparison.

Here, a 19th century piece with horn sheath, not a bendo but a badik, for comparison.
