Golok perahu nangkup/ujung turun perah pariaman
One of my latest
It needs TLC, all in the original set. Based on the information of the previous owner, this style of "sandangan" (sheath and handle) is Sunda Galuh style (Majalengka, Tasik, Ciamis regencies West Java). The sheath is wrapped with rattan, the butt is from a horn. The handle is pariaman from an albino water buffalo, and the style of handle carving is trawangan carving style (not sure trawangan refers to, does it for a name of a place or something else). Blade is perahu nangkup/ujung turun. Definitely older than my grandpa |

Hope this helps
Hullo,
ref.:http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...29&postcount=1 Sandangan = style of wearing/dress Pariaman = popular carving form Tarawangan = pierced Parahu nangkub = up-turned boat, ujung turun = downward-sloping tip Note: If the cross-section of the blade is a straight “V”, then it is a pedang; if it is slightly “rounded” at the cutting-edge, then it is a golok.

Very nice golok!
Somewhat similar to one of my examples, only the blade tip is different and the handle base. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...78&postcount=2 Regards, Detlef |

Good day Detlef,
I am no expert on this, but according to a friend based on his references (there is a book called "Pakem Pagobangan Mertasinga Caruban Nagari"), this style of handle isn't pariaman. It may fall to Makara (in the form of the handle) and has trawangan style of carving. But we may be wrong, i do need to learn more. Anton Quote:
