 Yes, the blade has a look like a slender barong blade. I have a third one, look here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=itakI really like this old Tagalog itaks with rectangular ricasso. This could be IMHO a sign of age. They are all three very good worked and feel very good in hand. Regards, Detlef |

No other comments?
Special I would like to know if I am correct that it is a Tagalog itak. And any thoughts about my theory that this thick rectangular ricassos a sign of older examples.

Oh I would think that it is Tagalog based on the blade shape.

Do you would agree also about the ricasso, i.e. that this is only found by old blades?Regards, Detlef |

I will hesitantly say yes, so far. However, I would need to look at some WWII examples to be sure.

Thank you Jose. This one: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=itak Spunjer sold some time ago (nice one, see it to late and was sold already) is a later one, still have this form of ricasso but not distinct anymore.
I think that Robert have seen and handled much more Tagalog itak, would be interested what he think about this theory. Regards, Detlef |
