Has anyone come across this before ?

There are also plastics that do not melt (Duroplaste - I don't know the english word)

Hello Godfried,

This pisau raut looks familiar. Is it in your collection ?

I have seen the red rings before, but at the time did not think about the material.

Best regards,
Willem

Yes. I bought it in 2021 in combination with a Mandau at an auction in The Hague

Godfried, does this knife seem to have been made in concert with the Mandau it accompanies? Is this red material used anywhere on the Mandau? Can we see the Mandau and sheath as well?

I don't know if the mandau was made at the same time as the Pisau. I read that in many cases the sword was handed in/sold without the pisau, which they kept for their own use.
