I'm with Detlef - looks like a buko, indeed.

43 cm to bend in blade. 49cm blade length. 62 cm overall. I thought Buko was the term for a smaller latok but I stand corrected if this is wrong.

I am learning a lot following up your posts
 I found a source which quotes another reference book (I suppose none of this is set in stone) "...differences between the Latok and the Buko according to Shelford: LATOK BUKO Hilt Transverse grooves Carved head Blade length +/- 52cm +/- 45cm Blade largest width +/- 5.5 cm +/- 4 cm....." http://old.blades.free.fr/swords/dayak/par02_buko.htm https://www.jstor.org/stable/2842798 |

Thanks Milandro
This is extremely useful and valuable. I had not seen any examples of Buko before this! Parang Latok seems to dominate available images. |
