Big ones here in Cotobatu too
Steve, saw these the day after your post and while I've never seen any this big before they are certainly huge if not near as old as yours (or as nice). None had a decent blade and all looked made for show - but they are HUGE! This place had a mix of mostly tourist stuff with a very few real antiques.

those last punals seem a tad large for me, would have liked to see the blades tho.
bit newer, bit smaller, bit more functional. 5.25in. blade kamagong wood grip. prob. made last year. diff. hardened & razor sharp, L6 steel, brass guard/bolster leather covered wood scabbard with brass belt/sash hook.  some nice user ones still being made....it's not as yet an obsolete art over there.
