excellent garabs! Michael, love that dual tone handle! Barry, that's the first time i've seen an "umbrella hook" handle look alike! was it shaped like that originally and wasn't reshaped later on?
here's a garab that i believe is still on display at Musee du Quai Branly in France. what makes it so unique is the handle, which is carved from carabao horn similar to those floriated knives from Luzon. a truly unique merge!
