Hi,
Need help. Is this a Tumbuk Lada? Sumatra or Peninsular Malaysia / Patani? Could it be a an old badik or sewar blade in a Tumbuk Lada Dress? Cheers. |

It's a Malay badik. See the attachment, it's my example. Too sad that the blade is so much eaten, the fittings are superb. Regards, Detlef |

I would call it a sewar.
An older, possibly centuries old blade in 20th century dress. |

We had a similar discussion here 2013 before: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=badik Look special to #38, our senior member Dave Henkel who is very knowledgeable about Malay blades explained it very clearly. The dagger in question is a Malay badik and I guess that the fittings are antique as well. Here post #38 from the given thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...8&postcount=38 I've said the same as you to this time but I was prooven wrong! ![]() Regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 8th May 2024 at 02:48 PM.

Look also to this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=sewar
It's always the name game, when a sewar like dagger coming from Malaysia it's called there as badik! The blades could be somewhat broader like the blade which started the thread. Regards, Detlef |

Thank you Detlef for the link to the discussion.
Now, I'm not so sure this knife comes from Malaysia. ![]() |
