i know a gentleman in Australia who sells a range of new malaysian/indonesian/phillipene bladed weapons (in mono-steel and laminated/pamour) by current smiths to patterns similar to these, tho usually with more traditional and decorative dress. he also rescues old blades, reconditions them and dresses them in new fittings very much like these if needed. he iws struggling 'Valiant'ly with the current batch of anti-sword laws in australia that has dried up many of his sources.
