As the two swords look rather similar to me, I'm not clear on why one would not be a "classical" jimpul.
It's also unclear to me which would be referred to as Classical. Could you please shed more light on the issue? |

I am not an expert by Dayak swords and sometimes it's difficult to name them correctly, see for example here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=jimpul What I would call a classical jimpul look to the attached pictures taken from other threads. Regards, Detlef |

Hello Detlef,
How about a Gayang ? Or a Tilang Kemarau ? |

Hello Willem,
I've considered both, but I am quite unsure about them too, as there are differences between these types too. But as I said, I'm quite inexperienced with Borneo swords, so it's not for nothing that I asked for help! ![]() What would you say? Regards, Detlef |

What sets these three (jimpul, gayang, tilang kamerau) apart? Is it to do with the tip shape? Curvature? Decorative elements?

Two possible "gayang" examples I found here in old threads. Both are from Charles Saunders.
