The tombak blade material, I like. But somehow as Rick had mentioned the flow of the luks, seems awkward.. Looking at the close-up pics, there is a possibility of a shortened blade as the blade is...

Your other blade is a good example of that form. This blade is not of the same worksmanship and quality, i'm afraid. :(

As for the hilt, I'm of the opinion that it's a tunggak semi form...

The hilt is a kocet-kocetan form, with a balinese uwer (hilt ring).
As for the blade, it is a simple form.. out of stain, it's quite difficult to determine, balinese or not. ;)

That's pamor Ri Wader alright, it's the vertical type of pamor (pamor miring).. I like the structure, although it has no core.. imho, battle worthiness is questionable, but aesthetically pleasing.....
