Nonoy Tan, your piece is so helpful! I now see that some of these bronze hilts are older. I thought they were all newer. Apparently I was mistaken.
 When you get back, would you also please post close ups of the hilt and blade too?  I noticed the sculpturing at the base of the blade....... Last edited by Battara; 4th April 2014 at 12:24 AM. |

I don't have a sangi. what I can offer is this picture of a sangi on the back end of a Bagobo man. It is taken from National Geographic 1944 (vol.86, p567):

I have taken some pictures from the small booklet "Treasures Of The Davao Museum" where several sangi knives are pictured, as well some with metal handles and scabbards.

Have sold sometime ago the one with metal scabbard but have won recently an other one by a german auction house so the both remaining ones don't will feel alone!
 Here some pictures and the new family portrait. |

Every once in awhile you find something good on Ebay... The blade is more substantial and a broader profile than the more recent examples I have. The mono steel blade has a nice "hamon" line. The spine work is a clean and a somewhat unusual feature on these as far as I can tell. Great piece of banati for the handle and the carving mirrors the spine filework.
