Philippine bolo knife restored

Robert does very nice restoration work! I see that the brass came up very "white" with cleaning--perhaps a high nickel content in the copper alloy.

I think your knife is very collectable. The strong Spanish influence in the hilt and the ricasso notch is certainly apparent.

Hello Ian,

thank you for comment. The strong Spanish influence and the nice bone handle was the reason that I bought it but it wasn't stated that the handle was broken.

Regards,
Detlef
