I had a look at the links and I consider them very confusing.
It aserts that Tumbuk Lada means "pepper crusher" because the shape of the hilt, but items no. 3 and 5 definitely don't look like a pepper crusher.
In fact, in my oppinion NONE of the daggers shown there is a Tumbuk Lada. Look for example the first one is almost identical to the Lampung sewar at the sewar page.
A Tumbuk Lada is essentially a sewar with a stuby hilt.
I suggest you use Van Zonneveld for reference.
PS: I made a couple of photos of my sewars but have not time to resize them so I can post them here. Meanwhile, have a look at some proper Tumbuk Lada (or Tumbok Lada) for reference.
