Hi Ben, the other side of the blade is exactly the same decorated. So no difference!
PS what makes you think the scabbard is north Borneo? Is it the carving at the top?

Hi Gene, the copper dots are common on borneo blades. I think it is just more decoration or maybe to give some spiritual strength or protection to the owner. But these kinds of dots are unlikely to be the numbers of heads that went off with it if that is what you mean.
