These two little gems came from Oriental Arms. The one with the silver scabbard I got some time ago and the other was a recent acquisition. Artzi attributes them both to Java but Zonneveld indicates that bakeks were used on Sumatra, Madura and Sulawesi as well. Anyone able to offer a more specific association for either one of these?

Hello Marcus,
sadly I have to correct Artzi again, the first one isn't a badik but a sekin from Sumatra, Padang Highlands, the "greneng" at the base, called a'jour, is the giveaway also the typical bird shaped handle is typical for this daggers. A very nice example! ![]() The dagger in down is indeed a badik and here I am with Artzi, I think that this one coming from Java. Also a nice example. Regards, Detlef P.S.: forget, both pieces could need a little TLC |

Here another sekin, 40.5 cm in length.
This sekin is now in the collection of a good friend. Regards, Maurice Last edited by Maurice; 8th January 2017 at 08:08 PM. |

Sorry, write down this in remembrance of an own search by Oriental Arms, but have found two examples by the keyword "sewar" instead of "badik". Sorry for any confusion. It has been this both pieces. |

TLC...on the silver one I would suggest at least an oiling of the blade to remove as much light rust as possible, and some ammonia and a soft brush to remove the unsightly old polish residue on the scabbard.

no, I think it's a little bit unusual sewar. Unusual because the file work at the base of the blade. Handle and scabbard are typical for a sewar. |
