I thought it sounded sort of like a Banjo at first.
Surprisingly loud for such a small instrument.

Interesting metal tab that is attached to the ferrule ring and laying on top of the gonjo .

Suppose it ever had a baca-baca stirrup once?
Sure looks like it did.

Wink Do Clothes Make the Man?

Is a backsword blade in Nimcha dress still called a Nimcha?
All of the Nimchas in this thread have curved blades.

Is it welcome in the Brotherhood? :o

The braided silver wire is obvious in color, but I think that the contrasting rings are swassa; they just don't look like brass. :shrug:








Good to see Shrug back again. :cool:

Engaged, a shot garland like this would spill the top round off the pile on near impact creating yet another problem rolling around on the deck for the poor bastards who were serving the great Guns.

The wiggle at the tip looks it was done on purpose, unless it has already had previous attempts to take the accidental kink out.

I would think one would be hard put to sever a limb with a blow from a fleece.

I don't get an Indonesian vibe from the carving style, Drac.
I doubt it's a married piece.
I'll still go with West Africa.
It's just a gut feeling though. :o

Thumbs up Nice Sword

Looks like black coral (akar bahar) from what I can see.

When polished the black material almost seems like it absorbs light.

A picture of the knife itself would be very helpful.
