Thank you Ian! I've found it by accident and some sleepless hours.

when we looked to the same sites I nearly would say that this as golok Badui described and offered knives are indeed just bedogs. I have learned later how they look (the Badui swords), the shown one was once for sale, this few pictures I keep. Regards, Detlef |

I have been asking around, then contacted a Baduy blacksmith from Kampung Batu Belah, Cijahe. He said, as far as he remembers they don't make any sword

Hello Detlef,
There is a fairly early report attributing this style of blades to the Badui: Jacobs, J.K. 1891. De Badoej's. Int. Arch. Ethn., 4: 158-164 (The local name is given as gobang; the style doesn't seem to have a wide distribution though.) Regards, Kai |

Great research from Maurice and Ian. Thanks for bring this information to light.
So my understanding is that the Tenggerese are a Javanese sub-ethnic group that traces its history back to the Mojopahit. They apparently are one of the few groups that still adhere to Hindu/Buddhist ways in Jawa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenggerese_people |

Made by Baduy whose father used to be an apprentice of well-known blacksmith in their tribe. He said to me that this is the only "gobang" that they know.
