I have known and still know people who would call these daggers as bade-bade!
 We shouldn't insist on a specific name.  Attached a picture with a "sewar" in up, down under a Malay badik, an unknown Sumatran dagger and four different Batak daggers, in complete down a "tumbok lada".

Indeed there are many names used... you only have to look at Stone.... I think there are 4-5 types under that banner... Tumbuk Lada barely got a mention within, Sewer says refer to a type bade-bade...
https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/31576 But should in not be that regionally and culturally specific names should be applied to regionally specific items. |
