The Dohong (also Duhong or Duhung) is a dagger or short war sword from Borneo. The name is used figuratively to imply bravery. In other parts of Borneo, it is simply referred to as Mandau.[1] The Dohong is considered an ancient Dayak sword that was used long before the Mandau was introduced.[2] It is believed to be the oldest weapon of the Dayak people.[3] According to folklore, the first people who owns the Dohong are the forefathers of Dayak people, namely Raja Sangen, Raja Sangiang, and Raja Bunu.[4]
