Sumatra sword , sikin parang

Here are my three Northern Sumatra/Aceh swords. From the top:

1. Co Jang
2. Sikin Panjang
3. Amanremu

The co jang and sikin panjang are laminated while the amanremu appears not to be, with an edge that seems differentially hardened. No scabbards unfortunately, though I believe the co jangs traditionally weren't in a scabbard. None of them feel cumbersome in the hand, though the co jang has a bit more heft to it.

It would be nice to see how the sikin panjang compares to Tom22's.
