Jose, I would never change or remove the hair on the scabbard, I was just wondering whether or not to change the hilt to a more traditional form. Thank you again for your help.

it's a binangon, no doubt. no matter how you slice and dice it, it's what we would call that piece.

Ron is this based on the blade? Also is this based on nomenclature from Iloilo? I know that there was speculation on catagorization years ago here, but no hard evidence.

jose, dunno how technical they were back in the old days, but growing up, anything larger than a butcher knife was called a binangon

Anyone have an idea of the age of this piece or when the hilt might have been replaced?
