Rehilted rencong ???
Robert:
On further reflection, I think this is a rehilted rencong. Notice how the tang arises from the back edge, like a rencong. And assume that the usual file work at forte on a rencong has been ground away. Now you have a slightly concave cutting edge (as on most rencong), a dorsal tang (as on most rencong), and a nasty stabber (as are most rencong).
Just a thought.
Regards,
Ian
