Hi David,

Sorry for the delay in reply and thanks for sharing your photo. our Golok looks older and more like a golok than mine has it has a more traditional shaped blade, where as mine has the blade shape of a Java fighting sword with fullers and clipped point only much shorter.
Regards

my golok are more like david's. (yes, some bright spark replaced the missing horn sash hook on the scabbard with a silver eating implement handle.) note the fuller in the lower one with the bulbous grip.
