Hi Michael,

Thanks. Good observation on the batang. I tend to agree that the Pattani sheath aesthetics usually results in the batang looking narrow and lanky compared to the sampir.

The luk on the blades flow quite sweetly, I thought. I admit that it does look a bit subdued, but still, it looks nicer than the luk Pattani blades I've seen.

The hilt also seems to have the nice full look of Terengganu hilts.

After this couple of pictures, I still tend to think it is Terengganu.
