Chisel grind Sir. Right handed. The scabbard is made from kamagong (batik-batik variety-striped) and the hilt a combination of white albino and black carabao horn.

All the best,

PS: This is a Rizal province buntot palos. There's another buntot palos blade profile from the Batangas(Taal) area. Im planning to have a newly made Batangas buntot palos so that I could share with the group.

The "palos" blade profile already existed in Batangas by preWW2 as documented in Atienza's (1917) "Weapons and Implements in the Town of Taal". It's a utility blade used in the farm. I'm not sure if the Rizal version goes way back as there's a lack of documentation / sources.
