I have recently purchased a rare Karo Batak knife with Djulung-Djulung blade but I wouldn't call this knife Andar-Andar since a A-A coming normally with a sukul (handle) nganda but this knife has a sukul djering. On plate 100 from Volz is shown a very similar knife (picture 9).
The knife is 51,4 cm long inside scabbard, 39,5 cm without, the blade alone is 29,5 cm and 7 mm thick near the handle, weight is 251 gram. Handle is scribed buffalo horn with a possible low grade gold ferrule with silver bands, scabbard mounts from silver. Scabbard mouth is deeply carved in traditional manner. The last two pictures show it together with two Karo Kalasans from my collection for size comparison. All comments are very welcome! Regards, Detlef |

Detlef, nice knife and very rare blade form! Congrats. I especially like the hilt and scabbard carving.

Someone can share an Andar-Andar for comparison? Would be nice to see other examples of this rare type.
