Totally no problem sir =) hoping others will contribute more samples!

Another recent samples. A sansibar tinamban with an albino carabao horn hilt and a sansibar binatanggas with wooden hilt, both from Leyte province.

Not sure how many types of sansibar profiles are out there, but there's another one called "oyon", which is straight unlike the binatanggas and tinamban profiles.

Nice sansibars! There are a lot of sansibar profiles... sometimes it even varies per town

Referring to MUSKKAT’s Bautista’s collection, the closest blade profile that I found is a Ginunting. Is it an Ginunting? Unlike a chisel, the blade is sharpened on both sides.

Blade length 16.75 in. False edge 9.5 in.

Wow, that's really special, Albert!

What's the blade thickness?

Regards,
Kai

Hello Kai, nearest the habaki, for lack of a better term, is 0.25 in.

That's a really interesting blade sir.

I'm wondering if it's possible that this is a hybrid...blade from somewhere else (probably South PH or even beyond) then combined with a Panay or Negros hilt. The habaki might have helped connect the hilt to the blade.

Or it may just be an odd-edged Panay or Negros ensemble.
