Help with ID....Jimpul?...Mandau?

Michael,

I just got my mandaus out and handled them and their blades are heavy. The blade on the sword in the photos is also heavy, but in a different way. It is thick towards the hilt and distally tapered so that the point of balance is more toward the hand and less toward the tip of the blade. I would not say it is heavier than the mandaus. Thanks for your reply - now I am curious.

Manny
