Hi Martin,

The ganja is called ganja wilut! ;) The sarung/scabbard looks very West Javanese to my eyes. The blade is sadly very worn!

Hi Ian,

I would guess that the first owner was situated in the greater Riau region, like Gustav stated, the sampir is in Riau style and the pendok is very Sumatran in style so this would be my...

Hi Jeff,

My one, and I guess yours as well, was very recent like Ian stated also, so I think that this is the reason why the blade is relatively thin and the knife doesn't have a full tang. Just...
