Interesting Piso Podang With Chinese Style Blade

Perhaps a combination of Indian style forging on a Chinese style blade...if it was, indeed, Batak made???

I have seen some Indian blades straight in form and even with diamond sectioned blades, but never an Indian one quite so "jian-like".

The Chinese had also established trading communities throughout the archipelago.

Charles,

I think yours is an extraordinary Peninsular Malay chenangkas.
The reason why is in your mailbox now...
