Here is an nice Latok with an brass handle never see one like this.

A VERY FINE LATOK I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE IT . ITS INTERESTING THAT SEVERAL UNIQUE FORMS OF SWORDS WITH BRASS HANDLES HAVE SURFACED RECENTLY. DID A COLLECTOR WHO LOVED BRASS HANDLES AND FITTINGS RECENTLY SELL HIS COLLECTION OR IS IT JUST COINCIDENCE? THE WORKMANSHIP HAS BEEN EXCELLENT ON THE THREE EXAMPLES RECENTLY FEATURED ON THE FORUM. :cool:

There are a few weapons in Borneo that I had with brass handle like an Mandau
parang nabur Latok.... Dajak |
A beautiful and unusual latok Dajak. The brass hilt is really quite striking and helps highlight the brass inlay in the blade. Could you possibly post a couple of close-ups showing the inlay a bit better? A great catch, thank you for sharing.
Best, Robert |
Very nice and rare latok Benny! :cool:

THANKS FOR THE MORE DETAIL ON PICTURES VERY IMPRESSIVE WORKMANSHIP. THE PACKAYUN OF THE MURUT TRIBE HAS NICE BRASS WORK BUT HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE WITH A COMPLETE BRASS HANDLE? THAT WOULD BE VERY IMPRESSIVE.
