Each knife measures a total of 22 inches including the hilt. On the side of each blade are struck markings showing what I've been told is the name of the village of provenance. The hilts are made of ironwood. The scabbard is also made of ironwood, with brass decoration and appliances and a mahogany-like wood along the top and bottom line of the scabbard as well as near the opening.  |
Hullo DaveA,
Golok Djanoer Ganda Perah Tjeker Oentjal, or simply Golok Ganda.
Made after about 1974 by H. Aas of Tjibatoe, Soekabumi. Model/Style is still current.
Best,
