Hello members,
some time ago I did a gambling by E-bay since I bought by this poor picture a Sumbawa sword/golok. But the price from 130$ was it worth to try this gamble. |

After cleaning and etching the blade I am very happy that I have bought it. Do you agree?

Hi Danny, the surprise I have had by cleaning the blade in lemon acid already. The blade was corroded but not deep. ![]() Regards, Detlef |
