Can't place this bolo

Cool. I've seen photos of this blade profile on this site and other web searches but they often feauture leather scabbards and brass ferules, this one felt stylistically different with the round (iron?) ferule and wooden scabbard. Philippine ethnographic weaponry with all the geographic, cultural and historical complexity is a lot to try to get one's head around!

In case of interest. Another example with same scabbard design

Thanks Jeff. I added a note in that old thread to bring it back up and link it to your knife. Good catch. You must have searched through a lot of threads to get back that far.
