While it certainly is a klewang-type blade, Bill's nice piece with its characteristic kembang kacang seems to be a variation of what Albert van Zonneveld refers to as "Pedang 3" (attributed to Palembang). The rounded "ricasso" is a really nice touch - could this possibly be a Batak influence?

Hi all,
Hmmm ..... blade is reminiscent of a Pedang Sabet Lameng/Luwuk Kalawijan ... Cheers. Last edited by Pangeran Datu; 28th April 2007 at 01:05 AM. |

Could you give us an image of this? Javanese? Indonesian? Lew, It does look a lot like yours. Kai, Palembang could be a possibility. I bought several swords from this collection and the others are Batak and some from Palembang. Thanks Bill |

Hi all, here is mine for comparison. The blade is over polished, but anyway I don't think that there is a pamor
