			Sorry Rumpel, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	It's not a bendo but a bedok!   And when you state that it coming from Java as island you are correct but it's a Sunda blade and not common by Javanese people. For all other informations see please here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=21948 It's an utility knife.Regards, Detlef  |

			Detlef, I took the info from Albert Zonnevelds book. However, having checked several more authoritative sources of information, I must say that you are right. This knife is bedok.

 When you look to the from me given link you will see that I've mentioned this in the posts #1 & #21 in the bedok thread. Regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 15th February 2019 at 09:40 PM.  |
