Hi there in my opinion a laminated blade does not have to be a pamor blade
Let me know how the people from the weapon forum think about this.

Another ting is; the Malay people must have come not later than the early part off the 15th century to Borneo.

Probably the malays came directly from the Malay Peninsula, but they must have mixed largely with the Kadayans, Melanaus and other costal people.

So this means before the malay people mixed with them the melanaus already exist . and means they are not pure malay people in my opinion.
