14k - That's high for suassa!

Good for you! A real beauty!

A lovely piece.
Do you have a picture of the fitting of the blade in the scabbard ?
Indeed unusueal to see this blade type with a rencong scabbard.
But the combi looks quite genuine.

14 Kt gold suassa ? did you have this tested ?
Normally Suasa is 25% gold = less than 8 Kt

Nice find regardless of the Kt :-)

Best regards,
Willem

Thanks Willem,

Robert tested the handle three times, the result was 14k each time. Convincing enough for me! 😆

The knife is currently in Robert's hands, hopefully he can post additional images.

Cheers, Russel

In the US we would call this rose gold due to the higher gold content.

You are right Asomotif in that the usual suassa is around 8k - 9k gold.

That does make this truly unique and of higher quality.
