That's a really neat blade, Charles! I believe this is a badek.
Here's another recent thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=25543 (different blade though) Regards, Kai |

Kai, I can see why this piece would conjure up similarities to the Indonesian badek/badik, but I believe in both the Indonesian context(because it doesn't fully fit the profile) and the Thai context, badek would not be the correct name for it. Perhaps some of our SE Asian experts have a name that would be more appropriate to the region. |

Hello Charles,
Sorry for being a bit unclear - I wasn't referring to the well-known Sulawesi dagger that pretty much got distributed all over the archipelago. This type of blade (actually more akin to a sewar) is called badek by northern Malays (including those nowadays under Thai jurisdiction). Regards, Kai |
