Tombak Info

Lei Shen Dao, does "reliable" mean "infalible". I have to wonder, because it doesn't seem likely to me that given the culture, a tombak would be made for a woman. I am certainly not infalible and could be wrong on this point. There are. of course, keris made for women, known as patrem, which tend to be much smaller in size and simpler in pamor and dapur, but i am doubtful about tombak specific to that gender. If so i would like to hear more.
