21.5inch overall. Blade was source of some controversy - some thought it was from Pattani, others thought it was Terengganu. I'm inclined to go with Pattani because the blade's wave is not that flowing, almost a bit awkward, and the perabots lack the characteristic 'fineness' of Terengganu kerises.

I love the figuration on the sampir, which is made from ketengga wood.

The pekaka hilt is large and full. I love it too, sitting nicely on the impressive pendoko.
