pangtuli is a knife used for circumsission. it's a rite of passage to manhood. the bayabas leaves (guava fruit tree) is chewed and spat on the newly cut foreskin and then the boys would run down the river bank and jump into the water to wash off the blood...my dad and my cousins went through this ritual at prepubescent age...i remember my uncles always trying to scare me with such a tool.

i guess it can be used as a weapon.

btw, "supot" is someone with an uncut foreskin...meaning a wrap or a pouch/bag.

SOK,

Are we all talking the same language here? There are some words that have different meanings depending on the culture. "Datu" in Moro has quite a different meaning as "Datu" in Batak, and yet another meaning in Tamil.

that alone is not enough, try the 'uki-ni-na-'mun and the 'u-tin-mo' version, it is more complete.

A panabas like yours needs a strong master, Dodadagohvi and maybe a Lampirong, or kampilan. Not sure which came first.
