tumbok or sewar from sumatra
his spunjer,
these knives are used for stabbing. the more elaborate ones are like the keris a status symbol. It is normal that one might think the handle is to big but these come in alle kinds of shapes. most of the times the little foot , sheath mouth and handle are made of the same material. the wood looks to be very nice. it is difficult to give a age to they are still made today.
greetings sander
