Detlef, that example from VANDOOS' post is what I was referring to as being of Maranao manufacture for sale to those who travel. Yes, some of the Lumad examples do have brass hilts and scabbards also, which is what makes things confusing. I have seen many Maranao examples of these knives for sale in the Philippines and online over the last 30 years.
