Here are two knives that resemble the description and line drawing of a Sulawesi bangkung in Albert van Zonneveld's book. The beaten up, lower example came from a GI who served in the Second World War and saw action in the Celebes.
This is very different from the Moro bangkung, being much smaller and more like a working knife, such as a small golok, rather than the Moro sword version. Ian. Two Sulawesi bangkung Top example: Blade = 11 inches, OAL = 14 inches Bottom example: Blade = 9.5 inches, OAL = 13 inches . |
