Thanks Lew,

Then it seems as if the Siraui is quite small and the Sewar is quite big.
Which makes both of them even more interesting, from my perspective.
Somewhere in van Z, as well as other sources, is described another name for a Sewar of larger size.
Maybe some other forumite knows more about it and if yours fall into that category?

Sorry,

Back home now and had a look in van Z.
I mixed it up with a Golok Rembau.
So it's a quite large and very nice Sewar.

Correction the sewar blade is 11.5" long not 13".
