The description of it's use sounds a bit dubious but I suppose anything is possible

I am probably way off the track here, but is it possible that this is one ? I have never seen one, has anyone else ?

I realise that it would require the "hook" to be straightened out and that Stone says the projection comes from the end rather than down the back, but if it isn't one, then perhaps someone can tell me what it is.

As usual all comments will be greatfully received.

Thanks

Hi Roy,

it's a very nice Kelewang from Kelentan, Malaysia. Look inside "Spirit of Wood" on page 104-105.
