This one just finished. Odd blade. Perhaps the winner can enlighten us as to what it is called.

Of course, how could I not have remembered that?

Thanks morningstar.

Hmm...I don't think it's a sundang.
Sundang looks like a Moro (Maguindanao/Maranao) kris.

This hilt is a barong hilt, but the blade, not the typical leaf-shaped profile.

Agreed Alam Shah , but it's still a sundang ....
