Default PEDANG for Comment

Have just picked up this Pedang?? Not of high quality I suspect, but then I am not really familiar with these things.

Hullo everybody!

I call it a golok djanoer ('she who MUST be obeyed' uses one to clear brush/long-grass around our house). This style was popular in the 1950s.
Blade: L=41cm., OAL=56cm. T=0.8cm, W=1.6cm.
Handle: Carved buffalo-horn
Sheath: Bamboo outer strips. Tin bands and sock. Buffalo-horn belt-clasp and throat.

Best,

This golok is from Java right?

The sheath style with the bands, the protruding lip of the sheath, and the blade shape make me think so...

Best,
Thanks for the correct term. If she who MUST be obeyed weilds one of these, then indeed she MUST be obeyed!!

This looks like one of the pieces sold by the now defunct Valiant Arms.
