Fabulous Disemboweling Awl

Nice piece, Tim.

Here is an example of a tool used for digging soil (planting and harvesting root crops) from the Ifugao of Northern Luzon (Philippines). OAL: 34.0 cm. Eyes are inlaid copper pieces.

Comes in handy as a stabbing weapon too (when the situation calls for it).

Forgot this. One last thing from Oxford, more elaborate and sorry for the poor pictures but it is a very difficult place to take snaps. Not for pulling your guts out
