Sumatran klewang








length: 28 1/2"
blade: 23"
blade width: 1 1/8" ricasso, 1 1/4" max
grip: 5 1/2"

Nice solid klewang. Spine of blade is 3/8" thick, tapering down to 1/8" near the point. Iron collar bolster, hardwood handle decorated with incised lines and seven brass rivets. Definetly a functional weapon, not a barstock machete. Circa mid to late 1800's, may be older.
