I had no idea Filipino weapons and even utilitarian edged instruments were so complex and interesting.

This is a fantastic and rich history. I was so happy to find this very informative thread. I have one of these knives too. Sword?
Big knife, let's say mine is. 15 1/2 inches for the blade, 22 inches overall.
Bolo. I always thought.

I'd be very interested to hear what you all think of this one.
