				 |  Another straight machete of uncertain origin 
			
			This is a recent acquisition and I'm not sure where it is from. I'm going to say Indonesia because it reminds me somewhat of the Tengger machete that was discussed here previously. The open-weave basketwork scabbard is quite different and the sword is not as well made as the Tenggerese one. The straight, single-edged blade is quite sturdy and is about 5 mm thick adjacent to the hilt. The hilt has a long tang, and two wooden scales flanking the tang. . |
