Handmade knives from West Java

Kujang is a unique handmade knife from West Java. It made from iron, steel and ‘pamor’ material 20 to 25 cm long and weight about 300 gr.

Kujang as a symbol is reflecting sharpness and criticism power in life. These handmade knives are also symbol of power and bravery to protect rights and justice. In the old time, these handmade knives are using for weapon, farming tool, decoration (fashion or room), and even souvenir.

Not everybody use these handmade knives, only noble, priests, kings, and royal family.

Hi,

Like your blog. I'am a big fan handmade Japanese knives. I don't have the skills to make them myself. But I have watched how they are made in Japan by a famous blacksmith. If you are interested check it out via http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24v-1GMu3Cc.

Regards,

Thijs
