Phillippine Knife

This was not such a good ebay buy. Is it a tourist thing? The scabbard is stained and roughly done so as is the rattan. You can see the light colour of the wood where the stain missed just by the nylon belt strap. Where it is melted to stop it from unravelling. The actual knife if however functional total length in the scabbard 38cm knife 34cm, although this was not too expensive it was nearly harlf the price of the two arm knives. Tim

Would not call it tourist, would call it recient. Likely someone was collecting for ebay and offered for it. Still being used.

Cool Igorot knife,I agree that its likely more a recently made piece and not neccesarily a tourist piece.

I bought one of these recently and after recieveing it realized that it was Naga not Igorot,I wonder how many get confused for the other.{I think yours is Igorot,not suggesting its Naga} :)
