New boy in town.
I found this only the blade and so I thought to get him a new fitting (maybe a temporary one). I got a ‘All-Singapore wood’ - a piece of Kemuning log and Sena wood all harvested from a forested area in Singapore . This is definitely not a top grade wood but I thought it would be a fair Malay Bugis, for a temporary fitting at least.
The blade has very much Riau Bugis influence. This tough looking short sepokal blade has slightly rounded but hexagonal shape. Also observed some pamor akhodiat and somewhat looks like pamor munggol (?) near the sosoran. Ohh… my 2 year old daughter has fallen to this boy |
