...Back to the Sanduko

Nice pics, Spunger! I'll definately have to stop at that Museum in Iloilo. Maybe I'll have better luck scrounging around Aklan province...I'll be there for a week in May. I've already put the word out to my relatives that I'm looking for old bolos...who knows what I'll find, but I may hit the motherload

! I've also arranged for a panday to make a bolo for me in Balete and maybe one in Tangalan...it will be interesting to see one being made.

BTW...how was training with the Davao LSA crew? I hear they're pretty hardcore.

good luck, zel. since that's mondo territory you might have better chance of finding binangons and such. check out sm city, bottom floor, in iloilo city, the one in jaro. there's an antique dealer, goes by the name arthur, that just opened a week before i got there. you might luck out with him.
as for training with manolo (LSA), it was great! can't believe fma can tax my cardio that bad! truth is, that's one aspect of the trip i really, really missed

. will definitely be the highlight of my next trip, and hopefully, soon.

Those are great Spunjer. I had never seen the scabbards before. Thanks for sharing those. Here is a link to one many of you have probably seen at Oriental-Arms:

A friend who's from Panay Island in the Visayan region showed me recently his antique sanduko, per pics below.

If these long-nosed sandukos got this trait from Pinocchio, then the one below would probably be the biggest liar of them all

The metal cladding of the hilt is all made of silver fashioned from old coins.

[Spunjer, thanks for this thread. I've haven't been to the Iloilo Museum, and your pics provide a good primer.]

I have a modern made sanduko from Panay in this style that I purchased recently. I'll post pics as soon as I get the camera out.
