Were it not for the laminated Sumatran blade (which is what drew me in), the scabbard style, and the provenance I might have guessed Indian. But given those factors, clearly a piso podang.

A one of a kind as far as I know.
Congrats! I've seen it in the auction.
I guess it is Sumatran, but I don't know to nail down the exact area. I guess somewhere Central Sumatran?
It doesn't look Batak to me....

What was the provenance by the way?
