A Bagobo Sangi for comments
A Bagobo Sangi I think. Nice condition with a laminated blade and pretty wood. Scabbard is coated with a resin. Any additional observations or information appreciated!

Yes it is a Bagobo utility knife used by both men and women (not just a woman's knife). The hilt is made from a burled piece of the inner part of the narra tree and is thus orange in color. Very nice.....

THE RESIN HELPS SECURE AND PRESERVE THE FIBER BANDS AS WELL AS SERVING AS A SORT OF WATERPROOFING. MAY KEEP THE BUGS AWAY TOO
 A NICE EXAMPLE THAT APPEARS TO HAVE SEEN USE AND THE WOOD GRAIN IN THE HANDLE IS VERY NICE.
