The Visayan scabbard does not look correct for the top bolo. For the knife, is the handle peened?

Yes both handles are peened.They have matching collection numbers on the scabbards and the weapons, but we all know how museums are.I agree, that the longer sword was either cut down or it is a mismatched sheath..

Hello David, I agree with Jeff, the top bolo looks very Luzon to my eyes while the scabbard looks Visayan and the scabbard looks like a mismatch.
The Visayan knife looks very nice!

I agree with both of you.The knife is my favorite as well;it is heavy and by its configuration, I think its main purpose was for fighting.

The triangular cross section is only on one side;the blade measures 9.75" long x 1&5/8" at its widest.
