Hello Sid,

Quote:
The greneng reminds me of Rencong from Aceh. Micheal suggested Minang possibly.
Yes, this feature might well be based on the Atjeh rencong.

I'd tend to guess at the northern Minang border region or, probably, Mandailing/Angkola (areas heavily affected during the padri wars).


Quote:
If Sumatra is this a fighting or utility blade or both? It bears signs of use and the brass inlays and details in construction are interesting suggesting perhaps a step up from a pure agrarian tool?
Also tools are often embellished; this looks like an everyday carry to me.

Regards,
Kai
