Hello Detlef,

I never saw a sumatra blade that was black due to forging.

Occasionally I have seen recent mandau blades that where black forged, probably chinese machine made blades. But never on real indonesian blades.

How is the black near the handle ?
My guess is leaning towards black paint.
If it was mine I would probably clean it...

Best regards,
Willem
