I also was watching this. But, like you said, finding a Balinese blade that would fit this sandang walikat scabbard....
 Saw one a lot like this at the Japanese sword show in San Francisco. Should have grabbed it when I first saw it, but walked around doing some more looking at the Nihonto, and it was gone when I got back. |

Yes, maybe it will be a long term project to find a matching dagger.
I have been looking for one of these for years and this Summer I was very lucky. At a local auction house in a small Scandinavian city, that usually doesn't have anything within my interest, I found this one. Michael |

Nice - now that is how a Balinese ceremonial piece should be.

Are you sure this is not some odd combo of a balinese scabbard and some scandinavian knife ?   Ps. But seriously it is an amazing piece, the scabbard is very much like the one on ebay. |
