Nice find Rick and cool research Maurice!

Blades from the Tenggerese, like the Badui, is not something you see everyday...

Are there documented blades known from the Badui people?

Hi Detlef,

look at page 20 / 21 and you'll find some information.
Not much, but better as nothing.

they have a bedog style of golok with a distinct handle shape.. these can be purchased online if you search golok badui or golok baduy they are quite short hand handles quite large.. there handles are all wood normally lack wood.. as they dont keep large animals

Thank you Julius,
when we looked to the same sites I nearly would say that this as golok Badui described and offered knives are indeed just bedogs.

I have learned later how they look (the Badui swords), the shown one was once for sale, this few pictures I keep.

And here a few new pictures from the Tengger "bolo".

I have been asking around, then contacted a Baduy blacksmith from Kampung Batu Belah, Cijahe. He said, as far as he remembers they don't make any sword

The one in the picture was sold once from Arjan Hollestelle, he posted not here for a very long time but maybe he lurks here from time to time and can tell us from where he got this information once.

Hello Detlef,

There is a fairly early report attributing this style of blades to the Badui:
Jacobs, J.K. 1891. De Badoej's. Int. Arch. Ethn., 4: 158-164
(The local name is given as gobang; the style doesn't seem to have a wide distribution though.)

Regards,
Kai
