sequel in the discussion
So to get this straight I've added three tombak.
One with a missing mentuk, one with a mentuk iras and one with a seperately made mentuk. Correct? Is the one with the 'missing'mentuk intended to go without? |

Hello K!
Regarding the tombak with kinatah, it looks like the pamor might be continuing onto the metuk - could this be iras construction, too? (The kinatah obscures the lamination a bit and closely examining this tombak should help to resolve this.)

The tombak looks like a quality object. Wutuh, sepuh and maybe even a bit tanggu. If this is the case this could support the idea that there might be tombak of quality with mentuk iras. The tombak now showing has seperate metuk with the same kinatah. |

Hello Kulino,
Quote: The tombak now showing has seperate metuk with the same kinatah. (Maybe less intricate) The center motif seems to correspond, indeed. I'd agree that the iras metuk looks nicer than the separate one in these 2 examples (even when ignoring the kinatah). Without wanting to hijack Paul's thread - great to see some tombak here for a change! Regards, Kai |

question still stands...
Dear all,
I tried to move the thread about tombak as best as I could. Hope I didn't leave out significant parts. If so, please excuse and correct. Looking the tombak, my question still stands. Is the seperate mentuk an indication of quality? |
