Pedang? I lost a few African friends but found this new one. I do not know much about this kind of thing. The blade is just over 48cm long and 8mm on the back at the forte so quite a sturdy blade. The blade has a clipped edge or is that also known as a false edge? The blade also displays several layers of pattern which I cannot capture today as the light has gone. The blade is not European. The scabbard is sleaved in what appears to be a heavier gauge of silver foil. Shark or ray skin on the antler grip which has a monster form with a grotesque face at the handle end. Any information as to where and what this is would be very nice.
