Another Philippine What's It

Robert · 17th September 2014, 04:02 AM

Seeing that there have been some very interesting Philippine pieces posted to the forum tonight I thought I would add this strange little piece into the mix. The scabbard seems Visayan to me, but the blade does not look to have the chisel edge that I would expect to see. The horn covering looks to be in nice condition but the brass banding that would normally cover the seams are missing. All together a nice but very odd little knife. Any and all information that is offered on this will be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Robert
