What I learned today is that Zorro really shouldn't have had a rapier, he should have had a binakla.
 In all seriousness though, this is wonderful information. Thanks, Leif |

Thank you, all, for your thoughts on this binakla.
Detlef, here's a better view of the blade profile. A shot of the spine will follow. |

Yes, no doubt, the same blade shape! Like said, I would give it some care, clean the blade, oil the horn handle a polish up just a little bit the brass, it's worth the effort.

And one more that may not be as old as some of the examples shown here.

Nice example!  Can you provide a close-up from the handle? I assume that the spine is similar thick as by the other examples?It seems that you now convinced.  Maybe Xas will be able to tell us something to the other both examples I've shown in post #6. Both blades are much more thin at the spine (attached picture show one of them with two binakla) and what I have noticed, the handle deities don't have the ears all the binakla handles show. I assume they come from an other Bicol region.  Regards, Detlef |
