Here is one that I picked up a couple of years ago. It has a more deeply clipped blade than most. Length 11.5 inches: blade 7.0 inches, hilt 4.5 inches. Definitely made for a small hand, perhaps for a woman.
The so-called Spanish notch is found on knives among several former Spanish colonies, including the Canary Islands, Philippines and Argentina--probably more if we looked hard. Ian. |

I agree with everyone else - definitely a Visayan plamenko.

Thanks everyone for the information; it looks like I've got a plamenko.

Might as well add one more for good luck.
 One thing I would like to add is that with a 14-1/2 inch blade yours is the largest example that I have ever seen or even heard of. My congratulations to you on a very nice find.Best, Robert Last edited by Robert; 3rd September 2014 at 10:21 AM. |
