What I buy there: Sangkuh, Kaso?

[David]

I am not convinced that this piece is African. The scabbard really bears no resemblance to the on Lew has linked to and i do recall a while back that we had a discussion about these 3-sided blades that were actually Indonesian in origin. I must say that the dress here looks like it could be from somewhere in SEA.

Hello David,
thank you for the link, I have seen it, but I think that Lew is correct. I have done some research by Oriental Arms, they all look very similar to mine, special the handle. My first thought also have been Indonesia (the reason why I bought it) and I also think like this because the sheat. We will see when I have it in my hands and I can take some better pictures, it is already paid and shipped.

The scabbards are identical in constuction down to the braided binding rings and belt loop protrusion with the hole in it. Btw these blades are not three sided there is a matching middle rib on both sides of my blade and would bet Sajen's is the same as mine.
