hello,
I have a little Panabas (18'), It is in my family since 1920. If someone can tell me more about it . Thanks |
Does not look like a panabas to me maybe Burmese or Thai?

Hello Eric, Very interesting looking piece. Could you post a clearer picture of the metal ferrel on the handle and does the wooden part look like it has ever been shortened ?

I send you new pictures and the wooden part don't seems been shortened.

I agree with Lew and do not think this is a panabas, but perhaps Burmese(my guess) or Thai.
|
The metal work is not Moro nor Filipino.
|
Not a regular Thai style. The cut-off blade style is mostly used in Thailand as an Agri tool, rarely decorated.
Here 's a "catalog" in one of folk shop. http://board.trekkingthai.com/board/...2a797fc5e8.jpg The long version of ferrule is the fitting used in lower northern Thailand (SuKhoThai province). I am not sure if the knife is Thai but it 's possible to be Thai. |
Don’t know about the hilt but the blade reminds me of a south Sumatran klewang.
If you have the van Zonneveld check page 70, ill. 265 and 267 for an example. Regards |
