Yes mate, definately 'edge up'. Weird little thing isn't it?

IIRC, mate either TVV or VVV had an example similar to mine and he had a name for it .

Are you Guys out there ?

Judging from post #20 in that thread I'll guess Karih as the designation .

So this would be a karih .............

My guess Jose .

Not quite the same blade form but vaguely similar ?

Interesting piece. The blade looks like it could be a salvaged sword blade. Not something in the standard catalog but would most likely qualify as a badik. The silverwork suggests Sumatra or perhaps Riau.

Interesting nice little dagger. Unusual that it was used two different wood for the sheat. I would vote for Sumatra as well. When you boring it one day I would be happy to give it a new home!
