To be honest mate - i have no idea. I'm still waiting. It does have a certain stylised, inca - ry (just made that up) look to it.. When the little beaut arrives i will takes some close up's, and we can all decide what species she is
But there is a certain rustic charm to it...
A potong golok, good choice, they are great tools.
Take care, they come frightening sharpened by my friend Wandi, and the tip will not like hitting rocks.
Take care when unsheathing that no finger is in the middle, and when using it the first time you do machete work with it, that it will go straight through most stuff that stops a much longer machete, by a large margin, so cut away from you, extending the arm, not closing it... The most efficient movement is using the arm like the blade is at the end of a fan rotor, or pullling it when it hits...
They are quality blades, differencialy tempered in clay, and made of only noble materials, water bufallo horn and ironwood, spring steel, and one takes ten to 11 hours of unpowered workmanship to make.

Cheers JM, i will take extra care with this baby. I do intend to use it, but i certainly don't want to damage it, or myself in the process (possibly in that order)..
OH DEAR!
Its not a question of what I want to buy........its a question of weather I will live long enough to see it..........

It would be a good idea to spend the time waiting for the blade in reading and re-reading the safety article..
safety
One day the mythical draw cut will happen with one of these, and when it does and the blade sails through the sapling without slowing - you'll be pleased that you spent the time and no body parts are removed....

Not bad for about £40 quid with delivery from t'other side of world
I have one of these, it arrived this morning.
BBuffalo horn grips certainly look slippery, but they aren't in practice for me and I do lots of clearing with big blades in wet conditions.
I deliberately chose the smaller one. Apart from the others being sold out, i didn't want to scare the ramblers. Well, not too much anyway
