Yakan Barong??
I believe this to be a Yakan barong, in fact a pretty classic one. This one features a horn ferrule, a shandigan blade and nice pattern weld.
The scabbard is new. |

Striking wood handle and beautiful pattern welded blade, Charles! The scabbard is nice form too, even if more recent. I had to educate myself on what a makes it a Yakan. Here is what I found and share with others who don't know: http://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=546

I bet that pommel has some flashing grains to write home about.

Yakan Barong
Charles: A beautiful barong with one of the nicest random patterns i have
ever seen. I'm with Jose. I think it is a later scabbard but definitly a really nice one.........Dave |

heck of a barung you got there, Charles! what stands out as well is the unque style of the pommel. not too many yakan barungs out there. the unique horn ferrule is definitely a plus! with a shandigan blade like that, is it fairly light?
