Thanks VVV,

When you get back home could you post some other examples of similar type?

Hi Charles this looks more like an malay/chinese knife than an sadap the silverwork never seen on an sadap .

The Hilt looks like the same as an parang that Michael has .

Ben, do you mean the jenawi

Charles, I found this extract, with pictures of lading terus as a reference, from Gardner's book on my computer.
My lading terus is not that typical with the hilt as yours.

Yes the jenawi that is the one .

And don't forget the dohun was brought to Borneo by the javanese .

Can't quite read the text, but the piece pictured by Michael looks like a Javanese tombok set like a dagger.
