Hello Yuri,
The blade is coming out nicely! Seems good quality to me. I don't see much wear and this makes estimating age hard. The Borneo crowd tends to be really conservative with age estimates - let's see who is also willing to chime in. Regards, Kai |

Hello Kai
Thanks for the comment. Yes, the blade is of good quality and very well made. There is not much wear, perhaps it was a family heirloom and was kept at home. Regards, Yuri |

Mandau-2
Mandau-2 arrived in a sheath from the seller Mandau-1, unfortunately, the nju knife is missing.
Total length – 560 mm, blade length – 410 mm, blade thickness at the handle – 5 mm, weight – 337 g The new sword is significantly smaller in size and weight than the Mandau-1. Steel on the blade, forging and processing of lower quality. The handle may have been made by Kenya. Comments are welcome. Regards, Yuri |

I am not expert in this field, however, using Sellato as my reference I believe the hilt can be attributed to Kenyah origin.
