Hello friends, it's Gunong Steve

First, thanks to 2 forum friends who pointed this piece out to me on ebay.

I let it slip by once, but bid the 2nd go-round when it didn't sell. It's a tiny little thing, 7" long overall with a 4 1/8" blade. The blade is monosteel, and has a nice shape. The hilt is horn, and is hexagonal in shape. That's the most unusual aspect of this piece. I have many gunong, and all but this one have an oval cross section in the hilt. Thank you for any comments you wish to make.
