Chamorro knife from Guam with scabbard

[wildwolberine]

Sharing this Chamorro knife from Guam for comment/future reference. I’ve owned a few of these over the years. I’ve included a photo of one I sold a few months ago. I’ve never owned an example with the sheath still present. I imagine this is c. WW2 era. Typical kukri-shaped, very wide blade profile with wood hilt and brass fittings. Full tang construction. There aren’t any maker’s marks on the blade. It’s a nicely made leather sheath with some resemblance to other Spanish colonial sheaths from Philippines and Mexico.

Dimensions:
OAL 41cm
Blade length 28cm

Hello WW,

Very nice and interesting knife! Just a guess, not many people here heard about a Chamorro knife before.
Here about the Chamorro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamorro_people

And here an old thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15161

And two other fairly old Chamorro knives I found online.

Regards,
Detlef
