It is often mixed up even in Indonesia, also with term 'parang' too. In general golok featured with a shorter and wider blade than pedang (in contrary pedang is generally longer and slimmer). I cannot find exact measurement samples, I guess we Indonesian just follow the feeling... Another thing is golok is more a tribute to West Javanese and pedang more to Central and East Javanese.
Hope this help, or anyone here have different perspective?
Best,

Hi Chandra,
I also named it a golok already.
I didn't know a golok is more a west Java thing, and a pedang a central or east Java thing!
Thanks for your information Chandra.
