Does there exist a counterpart or predecessor of the Moro Panabas in Indonesia?
Another amateur question, one that's been on my mind.
I noticed that almost every indigenous blade in the Philippines has a counterpart in Indonesia or Malaysia today, but with a notable exception, the Panabas.
Was the Panabas of the Moros based on a prototype blade constructed by Malays the same way the Kampilan was or what?
Thanks,
