Hi all

The piece showed up yesterday. The blade is mono steel but it is still a nice find

Thanks for all the comments.

looks like it could be jantung pisang

means something like banana flower petal style

That is all I can offer in terms of new information. That's my favorite style of badik blade, and I also like that style of handle. I hope you enjoy it. Badiks are definitely pretty unique blades in the world of knives. A very ingenious style.

Hi Lew,

the badik in post #5, third from the left don't want to show lamination by my first try. I have to repeat it some times until the lamination become visible. All badik I have handled have had lamination. Not one I have seen was without.

Regards,

Detlef
