Pisau Rembau Ayat Yasin 7.

Pisau Rembau Ayat Yasin 7 – A rare example of a knife from the Malaysian peninsular regions. Handle is made of teak woods and carved with the influence of the makara. Sheath is also made of hard teak woods with a horn top.

Sturdy blade with a single sharp edge and a slightly tapered tip.

The surface of the blade is etched with Arabic verses from the Quran. Aside from the words “Allah” and “Mohammad”, there is also the convocation “Bismillah” as well as the “Yasin” repeated 7 times.

Condition: Very good condition.

Age:  Krises and other edge weapons from the region are traditionally made without any date stampings or engravings of the makers' name. Although a kris smith or "empu" has his own styles configured together with the dapor and especially the ganjar (cross piece). Obvious age wear and tear, usage, familiarity with forms, motifs and designs, origin and history, mediums and materials used are our guidelines in determining an approximate age. This particular piece, from our experience and knowledge, should go back to the early 20th century.

Length of blade: 8".   Overall length: 13".
