Here is the second blade, I believe also from the Philippines or Indonesia.

The blade in scabbard is 28.75" total, with the actual blade 22.5". The blade has some cross-hatches that suggest it is a re-worked file, but a large one? The shape of the blade suggests an oversized talibon, almost a sword. The handle is carved wood. The sheath is wood, bound by rattan. Help?
