Hi Drac. I would say pre-WWII. You can see very similar knives and sheaths on this old stereoscopic picture that likely dates from the 1920s or thereabouts. The strong guy husking the coconut is wearing a sheath similar to the ones shown in my pics.
I'm told by Xasterix that the style of these knives had fallen out of favor somewhat and that Laguna
panday today are looking to rediscover old styles and methods.
