Lombok long-knife or short pedang?

Djelenga gives it as :-

BERANG/GOLOK

"Berang" is a regional variation of "Parang".

It is not a "PEDANG", a pedang is a sword, a parang is a general purpose tool, think "machete".

Like Alan write it's a Berang (parang) or Golok from Lombok, a very nice piece, love the handle carving. The description from Djelenga in his book "Keris di Lombok" on page 338 say that blades come also without pamor. Here a link to my example, different and simple but the blade as well without pamor: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=Lombok

Very nice piece, I really like it!
