I posted an old stereo picture a while ago of coconut workers in Laguna Province. Their bolos are quite well depicted, and the sheaths have a simple arrangement for suspension, with the belt angled across the sheath. Those pictures are here.

Yup, thanks for the pic! Same way that I'm wearing it. It must be a Tagalog thing, that suspension type.

My memory must just be going. The price of getting older I suppose.

Beats the alternative though.

Awesome pics from both of you btw.

Thanks,
Leif
