Default Lawi ayam

I agree with Lawi Ayam identification. Means "spike chicken'", among other things, Very similar to kuku macan. Here is a link to a Kuku macan in my collection: Kuku Macan

It is a cousin to the kerambit. Designed for a thrust and upward pull of the blade, causing thereby atrocious injury.

Best regards,

David
