Thanks again Henk. The more I learn about these klewangs, the more I realize how little I do know. Much appreciated.

As to your question Henk, I am of Dutch background in that both parents were born in Holland. They immigrated to Canada in 1951 and my father left his sword and kris daggers in Holland at that time. He got them back 20 years later and was actually carrying them under his arm through the Toronto airport. That would not happen today.
I am born in Canada but speak Dutch reasonably well, although I can't write or read it very well.
