 Officially the weapon was named the Marechaussee-sabre but the name klewang was more popular and later on also used as an official model.Even from the time after Aceh was pacified by the Dutch to the 1930s and right through World War II, lone wolf Acehnese without generals would still attack Europeans in hopes of getting martyred themselves and attaining paradise.Weapons used in such cases were usually klewang, if not the Rencong.
