A Sikin, one of the many variations of the Klewang, the Indonesian machete like sword. This one is Acheen from Sumatra, mid 19th C. The blade is straight and single edge, 22 inches long with a 14 inches long fuller just below the spine. It is forged from fine pattern welded and folded steel. The steel bolster is forged in a polygonal shape. The hilt is carved of horn in a typical forked pommel and beautifully carved with geometrical design. The scabbard is made of light color hardwood beautifully engraved in a typical pattern. The scabbard mouth is carved from a massive Ivory piece. A white metal band is securing the connection of the ivory to the wood. Total length is 29 inches. Very good condition. The horn hilt is cracked but holds very solid.
