This guess is nearby, I would agree.

to a Buginese/Makassarese, badik is "man's best friend"..... It's always carried wherever and whenever a man goes out.... even in his sleep, a badik is still tucked under his pillow

Is that still the case or did most Buginese and Makassarese let go of this old way and the Badik?

When I have been in Makassar three years ago I haven't seen people with a badik.

Makassar is a big city, maybe in the country they still wear it, I don't know about!

Good point! How traditional do you think Indonesia's countrysides are? Rapidly modernizing? Parangs, T-shirts, posters, cell-phones, carabao, wooden homes with corrugated sheet metal roofing?
