Kai,,,yes i will "warang" this blade,but the rain could be inpredictable at this time..im not comtable using spotlight or hair dryer.
when i first see this blade i think its bali or malay?
the pesi wich flat like "golok" or "pedang" make me remember Singosari, and some old stuff like pajajaran kudi ,,.look like kul buntet got same feel old jawatimur

Now im planing to make a temporary handle and sheath while waiting rain season stop.

Sorry for my english.

I just got to this thread and I agree with Kai. It is not Bali but perhaps Sabah or Malay. The rectangular tang in cross section makes me think Sabah. The reason is that the Moro kris have this same tang construction but not the style of ganga or front section. I might say Moro influenced but not Moro.

The okir on the blade looks like a mix of Sulu and Malay design, leaning toward Malay.
