Long Philp. Blade

I do not know enough to date it so I will defer to Jose. I have several others of this blade, guard and handle style. They are similar to the point they could have been made by the same person. Like you all noticed the only difference is this one is HUGE. It is the length of a KP although much lighter and therefore faster. I saw it and had to get it just for the uniqueness of the size. It is very well made with a distal taper. The blade has a slight bend near the tip that can be easily straitened. All in all I was very pleased. Has anyone ever encounter this type at this length before?
