Hi all, feeding my obcession for laminated blades I have rashly purchased this sword, which is totally outside of my comfort zone (LOL, the sword and spending money!).
Anyway, I've seen similar small knives/swords with clearly laminated blades like a Keris. This one though is just freaking huge! The overall length is 102cm/40" I'm desperate to know more about it, so Can't wait for daylight pictures! Can anyone tell me anything? Thanks Gene ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Atlantia; 13th February 2011 at 09:34 PM. |

I have the feeling it is Javanese. Soenda area?
But it's just a feeling considering the handle and the scabbard.. The blade however is different!?! Kind Regards, Maurice |

Thank you my friend. I know nothing about these, but having been caught by the 'steel bug' I now crave pattern welded blades ![]() Have you ever seen one this big? Any information would be gladly received. Best Gene |
