Thank you so much Ki Amuk.
I did notice that those blades are recently made, the red "tactical style" cord is now happening in the recent production of golok. But i do like it since it has no ricasso . Also it seems the blades fall into your explanation on the differences between golok vs pedang (on the "v" grind and convex grind). Recently made goloks, with the strong knives brotherhood forums movement in Indonesia, is experiencing (at least) it's second "modernization/westernization" after Tjikeruh era back to end of 1800s and early 1900s. Now the "tactical golok" made of high end steel will (mostly) have ricasso and full flat grind (under Ki Amuk explanation, full flat grind is no longer called as a golok). Will post my newly made Baduy Goloks all in sulangkar and traditional pakem (pattern). Quote:
