This is a machete and knife set in a carved sheath, with some kind of carved handle and woven material. The item seems like it might be oceanic or Indonesian, but I’m not sure where it’s from. It’s in good condition-though the fibers that hold the smaller knife have degraded a little bit with time.

Dear Sienna, Thank you for choosing Mearto for your online appraisal. Based on the images and available information, this item is: A set of Indonesian, most likely Balinese, Golok Machete and Knife set. A Golok is a cutting tool, similar to a machete, that comes in many variations and is found throughout the Malay archipelago. It is used as an agricultural tool as well as a weapon. This set has been hand-carved with local wooden material. These objects are precious collectors piece but in most cases they were only produced for Western collectors. Good condition overall. Retail prices may vary.
