Hullo everybody,

If every variant of the golok were to be documented in a book, it would indeed be a Herculean effort. Why, even just in Tatar Soenda, traditionally stretching from the Soenda Straits to TjiPamali (Brebes, Central Java province), there are innumerable variants of the Golok Soenda. Sometimes, the same type will carry different names in different areas, while other times, the same name will be attached to different types in different areas. There is always a danger in trying to 'pigeon-hole' things too much and/or of becoming too dependent on documentation.
