Default Mandau sanaman karam

This is mandau sanaman karam.. Sanaman = iron, karam = rotten. This blade is poison, not because someone rub by poison but its blades is toxic. Anyone that cut by it will be difficult to heal and make the wound rotten.. This mandau belong to my friend that has been pass through generations. According to myth to get this typical iron someone has to meditate in such graveyard for certain times.

Fascinating stories surrounding this piece.

Do you have close up pictures of the hilt, blade, and scabbard?
