Another mid- to late- 20th C. piece. This is a Visayan plamingko from Panay. Again, an excellent blade with a hardened edge (I've not etched it but the hardened edge is apparent in the hand, although not seen in the picture). Good quality hilt and scabbard as well. Nothing fancy, just a well made and very functional knife--just as effective as a gunong.
