Lately, when i was looking more information on wedung. I found, "wedung sanibin". Sanibin is the name of empu (mastersmith), from the foothill of Semeru Mountain. Those two mountains (Bromo and Semeru) just around 70km in distance.
The shape of wedung sanibin's blade is similar to the Tengger's, with variations on sheath and hilt, however there are sheath and hilt that are similar to the Tengger's.
It said that the Lumajang (Lamajang in the past) where the wedung sanibin comes from initially inhabited by people from Madura. Definitely different from the cultures of Tengger.
