Nonoy Tan, Thank you so much for your kind words and all the great information on my new knife. For awhile there I was worried that I had acquired a piece meant for those who travel. As far as having a betel chew together we will just have to figure out where and when. Thank you again.

Robert

P.S. If anyone has one of these small bells (1/2" Dia.) I could use one to replace the one that is missing on this.

Cool little knife Robert. The blade shape is somewhat similar to the coconut knife from Mindanao that was talked about in this thread.

Hello Steve, and thank you for posting your knife as another example of Mindanao blades. You are right about the shape of the blade as they are quite a bit alike except for size as yours is far larger than the one I have. Thanks again.

I am going to try to get some Tboli bells - I will send you a couple if this works out.

Jose,
Thank you very very much. Making the missing links for the chain will be easy but casting a small bell like this can turn into a can of worms when you haven't done any casting in years. Thanks again.
