Thanks for your comments gentlemen. Anyone have a link to any of these pictures? Bill, do you know what issue of NG you saw those photos in?

If I recall, that type of knife popped up a few times from 1930-60's. It may have become common carry after American governors enforced sword carry rules; much like the Moro pummel. It is definitely Bagabo, but I don't think it is limited only to them. There is a variety of hilts & sheaths & some slight variations of blade form. Still being made, likely for use but also for tourist. I showed a couple of the ones I have to a fellow who spent some time in Cotabato; he recognized them immediately & told me there was specific fighting technique used with them but lacked detail. |

ooh, Lew, that is nice. Love the grain on the handle on yours. The whole thing though is very similar to mine in execution and materials. Nice sheath too. I'll have to make me one.
