It looks like an Indonesian parang to me, though it's rather short for that. Is the hilt all brass? The hilt doesn't seem large enough for a good adult grip, so maybe either for a small boy or a tourist token...

Yes, I agree with Ronpakis, it seems to be a Nias knife/dagger called Si euli. The blade form and also the brass handle is typical. BTW, it's a very rare dagger.
![]() Sometimes this daggers are called Nias keris because some sheath's remember to keris sheath's. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=nias Regards, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 6th January 2011 at 09:56 PM. |

Thank you all for your insights. Yes, the handle is solid brass, and the knife was found with no sheath.
Any thoughts as to age? Thanks, DD |
