Is this a Sadap ?

"Sadat is Parang latok , but with an octagonal shoulder...."
Reminds me of Kama Sutra, where Position #54 is in fact Position #53, just with your fingers crossed:-)

sadly, every one i've seen is bent at the blade/bolster junction.

feel free to send it to me, and i'll contemplate what to do about that.

(nice one!)

Yeah, I noticed that too.

I don't understand why doesn't he have it straightened up?!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments and a positive confirmation that it is indeed a Parang Sadap

Nice analogy Ariel, just jog my memory if you would, what did position 54 entail?

Does anyone know how this weapon originated? agriculture perhaps I cant think of anything else. The Parang Latok and the Parang Pandat war sword also have the angled hilt and seem peculiar to this region. Thanks again for your replies they are much appreciated.
Regards

They are multi functional, and definately as weapon.
The question how it originated would stay a mistery I suppose. Only speculations.......

Hello Maurice,
I guess you are right much as my search for the origin of the Coorgs and trying to determine whether or not the Kukri influenced the design of the Ayda Katti or not but its fun trying and you learn a lot at the same time.
