Default Thick knife frome Bali/Lombok
Hello,

I have this thick knife from Bali/Lombok but I don't know its exact origin or its function.

Is it a ceremonial knife, like the Tiuk Pengentas, used in funeral ceremonies?
or is it just a nicely decorated utility knife?

When do you think it dates from?
