I agree with Flavio, while a lovely sword, I would not classify it as a "pedang lurus". This sword appears to be more of a short slasher, which I think would better rate as a "golok" or even perhaps a "klewang".
While this sword could be viewed as have "stabbing potential", a pedang lurus is certainly a thruster first and slasher second IMO. This sword appears to be just the opposite. |

Ironically, Bill, I just had a sword related conversation with a native of Borneo, and they actually did use the pronounciation "Kelly-wang" and not "KLE-wang". I was a little surpised and found it interesting.
