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.

What a nice piece and glad you showed it. Helpful to show more of these and in different types of silver work. Maraming Salamat.
