Ian, in my area we would never call this a bendho, we would call it a golok. For us, a tool must have a recurved blade to be a bedho.

Incidentally, I keep referring to these things as "tools", which of course they are, but in earlier times there were weapons that took the same or similar forms. You can see examples of these in the Musium Radyopustoko in Solo.
