Dajak,
Which one is the "buku"? I am not familiar with that term. What makes that type unique?? |

Nice collection!!!
The blade of the top one is interesting, it resembles a pandat blade. The hilt looks a bit strange on that? The brass dots I haven't seen before on a latok, interesting. Here is another unusual latok hilt variation. Michael |

VVV that is one fascinating and wonderful hilt - I LOVE the knotwork carving!

Thanks,
That's the only one I have seen with that kind of hilt (so far). Here are the only two I could find at the moment (as I am not at home now). Michael |
