Ifugao knife
 

I'm not familiar with the blade profile so thought I would share in case interesting to others. I also just like it. It has 21.75cm blade with 7.5mm spine with aggressive distal taper. It is very sharp, nicely balanced, and performed well as a chef knife making fajitas despite not having a full flat grind. Hard to tell on age, but older than the scabbard with well worn woven rattan rings on the handle. It was made from a file (striations still visible in parts).

Admiring the weaving around the hilt. Looks precise and tight. Thanks for sharing.

the blade is in a lightly different shape than I'm used to. Nice.

Hi Jeff,

A nice multipurpose Ifugao knife. This is a fairly common pattern for a work knife and of a typical size for light household chores, including cooking. Sometimes these are called "women's knives," but men use them too. Ergonomically, they feel comfortable in the hand. That knife will outlast you. They are durable and tough.

Nice one Jeff! The scabbard looks newer than the knife.

Attached are two from my ones which are multi purpose knives.

Regards,
Detlef
