Agree, would be nice to see them all!

Nice ones, congrats.

BTW, the upper one is called padsumbalin panabas.

Thanks Robert and Detlef; I called in a favor from my photographer(my wife), and here are the other 3 and 2 others that might be considered panabas.
All are heavy choppers and the spine is at least 1/4" thick at the base.

Those are wicked looking.
The panabas with the scabbard, photo on top, is the blade missing the curved spike?
Great collection of Panabas'.
Thanks for sharing.

Possible, but I don't think so;if so it was done a long time ago and reformed.Also, the scabbard fits perfectly and it would not accommodate a spike

Wow, what a great collection of panabas! Never before I've seen this type with this sort of decoration near the ferrule.

Thank you.The first one I acquired many years ago when e-way first came into existence ; the over one I purchased from Erik's Edge(Erik is a great guy), 2 or 3 years ago.Those are the only 2 examples that I have seen in my limited experience.
I think they could qualify as panabas, but I am not sure.
