Just picked this one up.
I say different as it has a couple of unusual features. First is the hilt. It is wood but not a type that I have seen before from this area. With the strong grain it looks more like a European wood although I would say that the carving was certainly done locally. I have not seen the square hole before either - any suggestions on it's pupose ? Presumably for decoration , but what went in there ? The blade is very thick and heavy ( 914 gram ) for it's length. 21 1/2 inches long but 3/8 of an inch thick near the hilt. This would give a seriously heavy blow. Large Krowit more like that of a Langai tinggan, but very little curvature to the blade. The inserts are brass. All comments welcome. Regards Roy |
