I doubt that Rick, that must have been a tombak for very little people
The blades dimensions are 124 x 12 x 3 mm (about 5 x 0.5 x 0.12 Inch)

Default small tombak

That small? Sorry, I didn't know that, I thought Rick was making a joke
I only knew about "normal" sized Tombak, like the one of my one...

Rick is sometimes joking, but that is very good recognizable. In discussing weapons he is mostly very serious.
I do own a tombak of that small size, it was said it is very old, but also in the size you just showed us.
Nice tombak by the way.

Please, no worries .
I looked at the base and saw a metuk-like feature there .

Probably made as a talisman , no ?
