Hullo everybody!
Looking at the overall piece and if the actual blade were double-edged and about 20+something cm., I'd call it a 'peso teundeut' (loosely, stabbing-knife/push-knife). Part of the quintessential accoutrements of the Soenda warrior-class of yesteryear. ![]() Best, |

Nice work on the clean up! Dosen't even look like the same piece! Talk about a diamond in the rough.

Thanks Gentlemen. So the votes so far are Indonesian, and Philippine.
![]() The blade was really roughly finished. I had to start with 150 grit sanding belts just to get the deep grinder gouges out of it. Went from there to 220, 45 micron,30 micron, then hand sanding. It's a pretty, if low contrast, pattern. Steve |

Hello Steve,
very nice dagger. Here a second vote for Indonesian. The complete style let me think direct that it is from there but frankly said i have never seen something similar. ![]() Regards, Detlef |

The style does look Indonesian. The okir could go either way.
