Default An Oddball Moro Knife/Golok

Just when you think you've seen it all with Moro stuff...set yourself up for a surprise.

Here is a Moro knife/chopper/golok in a form I have never encountered before. It is 22in. overall with a heavy, clever-like blade of typical Moro patter welded steel, measuring 14in. Note the unique chiseling at the ricasso and toward the down turned tip.

I have no idea what this one is called or if it shows up on the OLD Moro weapons boards.

The weight and balance of the thing does not make it perfect for a weapon, though certainly it could be pressed into service as one, no less than a kitchen clever could....and that's what it really feels more like, that is, a tool, or clever.

The scabbard is new. Philip Tom and I tried to develop something ethnically and aesthetically correct, though we had absolutely nothing to go on for a piece of this type.

Comments are welcomed.
