How does one pronounce Golok? Is it Ga-LOCK, or GA-lock? Or GO-lock?

Golok as used in Indo-Malay culture? It's sounds like bollock but with shorter 'l' insteald of 'll'

I speak the language by the way .. and where's our forumite Golok? He can tell you too

Ten years ago I got a pair at 30$, about 14 inches blade each, made in Tjibatu. Very nice. However, if you get it from city's shop, it easily gets to 100$ a pair or more, and the blade might be of less quality. The one I got was ordered by someone who has relative in the village of the smiths, and they use leaf spring steel.
