Klewang Sumatra

[Battara]

Don't know if this will be helpful but the metals on the hilt appear to be white nickel-copper and copper.

Many of these are found on Lombok also .
My example was sourced from there .

Whether it's Sasak or Sumatran is probably anyone's guess (IMO).

One of the sharpest swords I own .

It's Sumatran I'm pretty sure, but the similarity of Lombok pedangs and klewangs IS very interesting

Rick if ya don't mind, feel free to share a picture of your klewang!



....
some other people's examples of this klewang
(the blade shape doesn't seem to appear on lombok though everything else about it seems to)

could only find these pictures right now
found others, but they were for sale on websites, can't link to those

EriksEdge (recently sold, so it's OK)

A different point style; but the same blade construction as yours .
I have had this for at least 10 years; it was sourced from Lombok .

Interesting... looks like a pedang sabet of sorts

does anyone know how to tell the difference between a Lombok and these Sumatran blades?

[KuKulzA28]

Anyone else have anything to add to this?

I am very curious about these blades, and perhaps others are as well...
