Ilocano knives and swords are not particularly distinctive, but I have a few well provenanced ones that show the rather graceful contours to the full tang hilt that is exhibited by the original subject of this thread as wella s the small "notch" to the cutting edge just at the ricasso. Not saying these are definitive signs of Ilocano work, but they are consistent with the identified pieces I have had in the past. Ian. |

On the matter of the notch near the hilt, I have a couple of Tagalog bolos that also have this notch.
