			Oh, I can see it clearer now ( always good to know that something is NOT what you thought   ). The one on the left is a Pedang I ( Peudeung for the purists  ) from Sumatran Battaks. |

			Hello Flavio, Thanks for sharing your collection! I can only aspire to acquire the knowledge neccessary to acquire such a diverse collection. Any chance of some closeups of your kukri? Heres what is probably the best piece I have, from a collectors viewpoint. Best wishes Dan   |

			Dan / Scaratch,  Nice khuk. I think that you would see some nice patterns if you decided to put some vinegar on it. Flavio, Do you have any more detailed pictures of this piece? I have one much like it with a kris blade. |
