A good and seldom seen Tumbok Lada.

This example measures 30.5cms long in its sheath, 27.5 out and has a blade length of 20cms to the bolster.
The large oversized ivory grip displays a nice old patina throughout and it without loss or fault.
The blade is uncleaned and native forging flaws can be seen in the blade's surfaces. Its edge remains sharp and its tip full
The upper sheath section is carved from a rich brown timber which displays a deep patina. The stem appears to be bamboo, rattan bound and with a single bronze or silver strap near the base.

A good old example of a seldom seen knife.
