description
The Baradi has a single-edged, straight blade. The cutting edge is of the same width between the handle and the location . The blades are made from simple steel but also from Pamor steel (a type of Damascus steel ). The cutting edge is longer than the back of the blade, so the place is cut off at an angle. The handle is usually made of wood or horn and is slightly curved. The pommel is rounded. The baradi is used by ethnic groups in Indonesia.
