The hook also makes me say dayak.
Surely looks like an aso/asu figure to me.
Although a style that I know no other examples of.

Thumbs up

VERY NICE EXAMPLES I CAN SEE WHY YOU WOULD NOT WISH TO SELL THEM.

FROM THE PICTURE IT APPEARS THAT ONE BLADE HAS A PATTERN BUT I CAN'T TELL FOR SURE. THE OTHER BLADE IS A VERY UNUSUAL FORM I HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE. I THINK THE LITTLE METAL PIECE STICKING UP OPPOSITE FROM THE BLADE IS USED FOR SIGHTING CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG. THE ONES I SHOT IN BORNEO WITH THE PUNAN DID NOT HAVE BLADES OR SIGHTS SO I HAVE NEVER USED ONE WITH A SIGHT BEFORE.
I HAVE USED A MODERN METAL VERSION OF THE JIVARO BLOWGUN FOR HUNTING SMALL CRITTERS IN THE PAST ,I GOT IT IN THE 1960'S AND IT IS QUITE ACCURATE BUT HAS NO SIGHT.

I WAS LOOKING AT THE PICTURE OF THE HUNTER I POSTED ABOVE AND I MAY HAVE BEEN WRONG SAYING IT WAS A PIG AS IT ALSO RESEMBLES A SMALL TYPE OF JUNGLE DEER FOUND IN SOME AREAS.
