A 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 referred to as a mandau. The dohong is thought to be an ancient Dayak sword, used long before the mandau was introduced. It is believed to be the oldest weapon of the Dayak people. According to folklore, the first people who owned the Dohong were the forefathers of the Dayaks, namely Raja Sangen, Raja Sangiang, and Raja Bunu.
