I like them already.
Do you have pictures of the complete blade + handle ? (I am missing the blade tips, and would love to discuss them  )

I think it has Murut flavour in a Bahau way.... (I meant the river Bahau and not the tribe...)

Nice blades Cerjak. Upper one Kenya tribe from the Baram area, lower one from the Ibans. Maurice Last edited by Maurice; 5th April 2013 at 03:11 PM. |
