Indonesian knife for identification
 
11 Attachment(s)
I just have bought an Indonesian knife by epray but I am unsure how to call it and from where it is. It is inside scabbard 10-7/8" with a blade of 7-1/4". Any help and comment would be very appreciated.

Thank you as well Willem! :) I know that I have seen one before somewhere but can't remember where and was very unsure if I am correct.

Maybe someone have a similar one and can post pictures. :shrug:

The blade is relatively thick (4mm) and measures 12,6cm
Overall size : 22cm

The style of the handle is close to that of small balato and si eulis in this thread :
