Hi Martin,

Yes, the cup will be square too.

Well, there are perhaps Moro blades too dressed as Malay Sundang, but there are also genuine Malay Sundang with Asang-Asang. May be it's true for a later period, but to say, Malay Sundang never had Asang-Asang - that's simply wrong.

Hello Gustav,

I've written: The Malay kris may never have any asang asang, many Malay kris don't have any clamps. But the hilt missing a cup in down I guess.

And I've shown pics from older threads to show which cup could be missing and there are Malay sundangs with and without "asang-asang".
I never claimed that Malay sundangs never had asang-asang.

Regards,
Detlef

Hello Detlef,

Understood. I was confused by the word "never".

Agree completely with you. There are typical Malayan sundang with asang asang/baka baka. I think that is what Detlef was also saying.
