The badik or badek is a knife or dagger developed by the Bugis and Makassar people of southern Sulawesi, Indonesia. == Description == The badik consists of three parts, namely the handle and blade, as well as the sheath or scabbard. It comes in a great variety of shapes and sizes. The badik can have a straight, curved, bulbous or wavy, single- or double-edged blade. The blade is smooth or with hollow sections (fullered). The point of the blade can be either pointed or rounded. Like the kris, the shape of the blade is asymmetric and often shows patterns typical of ''pamor'' (pattern welding steel commonly known as Damascus steel). However, it differs from the kris in that the badik does not have a ''ganja'' (a buffer strip steel). Some versions from Sulawesi are decorated with inlaid gold figure on the blade called ''jeko''. The handle is made of wood, horn or ivory in a shape of a pistol grip at a 45° to 90° angle or similar in a bent shape often decorated with carvings. From its native Sulawesi, the badik soon spread to neighbouring islands like Java, Borneo, Sumatra and as far as the Malay Peninsula, creating a wide variety of badik according to each region and ethnic group. There are many versions made and used throughout the Indonesian archipelago alone.
