Hi WW,

A nice heavy general purpose bolo. I suspect this one is from Central Luzon. A picture of the other face of the scabbard might give more clues about its origin. There appears to be a quench-hardened edge. Again, a light etch might show this feature more clearly.

Heavy blades like this one were often used to split coconuts, chop wood, etc.
