SUMATRA DAGGER BATAK ? KARO ?
I found this small dagger which has some batak features.
But is it batak ? or karto batak or... Any suggestions ? Best regards, Willem |

Hello Willem,
intersting knife, it's too bad that the blade is in such poor condition.  The overall appearance gives indead the feeling that it could be a Batak knife (rawit) but the hilt with the monster face remember to Nias handles I've seen before. I think you have something similar in head!?  Regards, Detlef |

Hi Detlef,
Yes, some decarations are similar as on a rawit. But the overal blade shape / handle shape and indeed some kind of creature on top of the handle are all new to me. Best regards, Willem |
