Hello All,
I was another bidder on this, but I forgot to bid higher ;-)
I was hoping that someone on the forum picked this one up.
A cool, unique find! Consider me jealous.
It's not a major resemblance, but there's a structure near the top of the scabbard that reminds me of the wooden hanger on a Philippine knife of mine posted here.

Both Jose and Ian thought this one might be from Bicol.
Hopefully this helps
Thanks,
Leif
