This blade style is widespread in SE Asia, the chisel edge permits a very sharp edge when correctly sharpened. Ideal for splitting rotan and similar materials. M'ranggis use this type of knife for general purpose work, I have several that I use for bench work.
The area of origin is probably going to be determined by the hilt:- ID hilt style, ID knife. In Bali today these knives are called temutik. My guess for this one would be Lombok. It is a guess. Various sizes, ages, qualities:- Last edited by A. G. Maisey; 20th August 2017 at 08:16 AM. |
