Just received this one today, seems really beautiful for me, but the blade was a little bit sharpened.
Actually it's really small. The blade is about 15 cm. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Very nice dagger, would call it Sewar and not Tumbok Lada. Look better on your pictures then from the seller. Conratulation!

Hello Sajen, thanks for your comment but I was thinking that a Sewar shall have much longer scabbard appendix so the scabbard would have an inversed L shape.

Hello Devadatta,
that's a name game at all. You can found many lightly different dagger under different names as there are Seiva, Sejwa, Siva, Siwai, Tembok Lada, Toemboek Lada and so on (many more). Tumbok Lada mean "pepper crusher" because a specific form of a handle. When you go with Albert Zonneveld in his book "Traditional Weapons of the Indonesian Archipelago" is the blade of a Tumbok Lada broader and thicker as the blade of a Sewar. I will show you for example my collection of Sewar. The hilt and sheat of a Sewar can differ from one region to the other. Last edited by Sajen; 9th October 2009 at 05:18 PM. |
