Hybrid bolo/barung
Curious to know if any forum members have seen similar knives? Has what looks like a common bolo blade profile with a barung hilt. Not obviously chisel ground. The hilt is plain wood, much more utilitarian than a barung hilt, more or less in line with the blade’s spine. It does have a very nicely fitted brass ferrule with an octagonal cross section. Overall the item is solidly made and doesn’t look like a tourist piece. Cross-cultural piece? Unfortunately no sheath.
62 cm overall, the blade is 46 cm by about 4 cm. |
