South-East-Asian knife quiz
Yesterday I've purchased by an online auction the shown knife. I think that I know what it is but want like to read the opinions of our members and don't want to influence your opinions. It is 41 cm (approx. 16") long overall with a blade from 30 cm (11.8"). It was described as African. I am curious if you come to the same conclusion as I am. Sorry for the picture quality, they are from the seller, will post better pictures soon as I have it in my hands.

Looks like Classic Nias by design.

Another vote for Nias.
Would love to get a better view on the blade once it arrives, Detlef. Regards, Kai |

Opinion:
Nias, that's a minimalist interpretation of the Lasara hilt; the ferrule also has the Nias look. It looks rusty. |
