Dear All,
finally it has found his new owner, and I think, it would be interesting to start a discussion about it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-INDO...item19d74a7316 At first sight I thought it would be the real thing, but then... one thing for sure: it would be the first one of this kind I see without the "Banji" (swastika) ornament. And there are some other strange features. Is this one an attempt to cheat or just a less fine or more recent example of its kind? |

Hi Gustav,
It's a nice knife, shall we call them 'Wedung'? I know some do and some don't. Artzi had a similar one on his website some time ago: http://www.oriental-arms.com/photos.php?id=1812 |

I have two 'cousins'.
Sadly neither comes with the oversized ceremonial scabbard, the "party dress". One of mine is 'naked' and the other only has it's 'everday' scabbard. Both of mine have the 'swastika' geometry. |

Hello Gustav,
have found this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ght=bali+knife The one from Artzi was discussed here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ght=bali+knife The one you have posted look original to my eyes and like the both threads show they don't need to have the swastika ornament. But honestly I have state that I don't know to much about them. Attached a picture from the first thread. Regards, Detlef |
