An old dayak ? Parang latok

[RobT]

francantolin,

The hilt on mine is on correctly. The difference between your blade and mine is that the spine on yours curves down to meet the straight edge but on mine the edge curves up to meet the the straight spine. That’s why I said that looking at yours and mine was making my eyes go crazy. In the first photo you posted, the edge is facing toward the top of the picture. In the photo I posted, the edge is also facing toward the top of the picture. All the examples in this thread show the cutting edge on the convex side of the blade.
Really nice blade restoration by the way.

Sincerely,
RobT
