description
The Jimpul has a curved, single-edged blade. The cutting edge is on the convex side of the blade. The blade widens from the handle to the location . It can be provided with one or three hollow grinds that run just below the back of the blade. The place can be cut straight or rounded. The back of the blade is always shorter than the cutting edge.
The handle has no guard and is made of wood or horn . The booklet is wrapped with leather straps and carved overhanging nose-shaped in the knob area. The booklet can be decorated with carved decorations and tufts of hair.
The sheaths are made of wood, are in two parts, wide and wrapped with rattan cords for attachment. The scabbards are curved, often also covered with carved decorations and provided in the area of the vagina mouth with a narrow extension that protrudes beyond the rest of the scabbard. They are made in the same way as the scabbards and booklets of the Mandau .
The Jimpul is modeled after the parang ilang and the langgai tinggang . It is widespread in Kalimantan among the Iban and Kenyah peoples .
