Kini gilir tampil pedang khas tentara khusus kerajaan Lombok era bahula. Kisaran tahun penciptaan berkisar rentang 1700 – 1800 Masehi. Sebagaimana diungkap dalam buku “Keris Lombok” karangan Bapak Ir. Lalu Djelenga. Masyarakat umum di Lombok lebih sering menyebut Klewang. Julukan yang hampir sama bagi semua jenis pedang. Pasukan tentara kerap menyandang di bagian tubuh-punggung belakang. Bentuk bilah besi terhunus dengan lengkungan khas. Ujung mata pedang meruncing pada sisi bilah bagian yang tajam. Pamor pada pangkal bilah sangat kontras dengan tera motif yang kian tampil cantik. Terutama pada bagian tengah bilah hingga ujung. Rentang panjang bilah capai 50 cm.
Warangka terbuat dari kayu hitam. Tidak lazim seperti umumnya bahan warangka keris khas Lombok, bersanding kayu Berora Pelet. Sedikit memberi kesan tegas dan garang. Namun masih bernuansa estetis dengan tambahan asesoris, segmen bungkus lempeng perak dan kuningan. Ukiran motif minimalis hanya terdapat pada bagian hulu warangka.
Bagian handel. Terbuat dari bahan tanduk yang di-ukir dengan motif khas Lombok. Diperindah lagi dengan pembungkus berbahan perak. Sedikit lebih tebal dibanding lempengan pada warangka. Dibuat hingga menutup dataran pangkal tancap bilah. Berfungsi lingkar selut.
