Good day to you. I cannot wait to get my hands on one. So much so it disturds my sleep.

The thought of my wife getting her hands on one, in an angry state, would disturb my sleep, also!

Never go to sleep with a disagreement brewing in a house filled with sharp things!

Interesting panabas. Never seen one with a "kampilan" tip. Looks old. There looks like a cup hook near the tip in the overall view that had me confused until I reaized there were others on the board.

I like the iron bands holding the blade in place.

G'day

Thank you for your interest and thoughts and link.
Hang in there Tim,It will be worth the wait I think.
Bill Marsh, Thank you for sharing pieces from your collection. I always look forward to your posts.
Battara,Stones description states Cotobatto as an origin for a similiar example, is this an island?
Bill, great info! Were other weapons also arsenal produced?
Speculation regarding crescent spike: Could this have been used to position/control the neck in a formalized execution setting? I have read both kampilans and panabas' were used in this role.
Hideyoshi, Fantastic pieces!
Thanks again for all replies the communication is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Daniel

Cotobato is on the West coast of Mindanao Island, I think Maguindanao country.
