I own, to a bigger extent as curiosity, a 19 Luk blade, which came with Malayan hilt and Pendokok. I beliewe, the hilt is made for that blade, because it has an unusually long and sturdy Pesi and the fit is perfect. It is an old Megantoro style blade with some remains of criss-cross scratched foliage as basis for Koftgari. At least one owner must have been proud of it, becouse the Gonjo Wilut was replaced at some time. The Gonjo is not recent and is quite well adjusted. The length of it is 39,4 cm and I believe it to be Sumatran, at least pre-1700.

Also without sheath, yet the last one must have been something like a Saribulan sheath for Anak Alang.

Green, we sometimes see unusual, special blades dressed in oversized Saribulan sheaths in Malay context.
