Traditional Weapons Of Borneo Saber

Borneo is one of five major islands in Indonesia. Actually the island is not only a "place of origin" Dayak people simply because there is Banjar (South Kalimantan) and the Malays. Among Dayaks themselves, each other to foster develop its own culture. However, one other familiar with or have special weapons Dayak called saber. In everyday life these weapons can not be separated from their owners. That is, wherever the owner went saber will always be taken for functioning as a symbol of honor or identity.
Saber anciently considered to have magical elements and only used in certain rituals such as war, headhunting, traditional dance equipment, and supplies the ceremony.
Mandau believed to have levels of efficacy or supernatural powers.

This type of saber made only by certain people.
Preparation begins with the saber blades make charcoal fire in a furnace for iron memuaikan. Wood used for making charcoal is ironwood because it can produce a higher heat than other wood species. After the wood becomes charcoal, the iron that will be placed above the coals saber blades are so swollen. Then, using a hammer forged.
Forging is done repeatedly until getting the desired shape saber blades. After the blade is formed, the next step is to create a decorative form of grooves and serrations on the eyes as well the holes saber on saber blades. That said, the number of holes on a saber represent the number of victims who never got the saber cut down. How to create a decoration similar to how to make saber blades, namely memuaikan and with hammers repeatedly to obtain the desired shape. Only then smoothened using the saber blade grinder.
