agree.. it is meant to emulate the stye of the Tappi Sappukala or the Sepokal Keris of the bugis... But though there is a very slight curve to the blade... the overall look simply does not fit in to the Bugis Sepokal design...

The pamor is too refined and complex for a Bugis blade... there are Bugis and Bugis influence blades wth excellent examples of pamors.. notable those from Palembang,Trenganu & Sumbawa... but i believe this is far too refined and does not give a feel of a bugis blade...

This blade may also be missing a ganjar...
