VISAYAN TALBION STYLE HANDLE WITH A ATYPICAL BLADE FORM. THE BLADE IS MORE LIKE THOSE FOUND ON THE BOWIE OR SPANISH STYLES. YOU CAN SEE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE MORE USUAL TALBION BLADES WITH A SEARCH. IN THE PHILIPPINES THE POORER GUYS HAD TO DO THE BEST THEY COULD FOR A WORK/FIGHTING KNIFE AND OFTEN CARVED THEIR OWN HANDLE AND SCABBARDS. THATS MY BEST GUESS I FIND THESE INTERESTING BECAUSE OF THE WIDE VARIATION IN DECORATIONS THERE IS USUALLY LESS VARIATION IN THE BLADES.

MY FIRST VIEW SO NOW I POST

I KNOW A BIT BUT NOT ENOUGH TO BOAST

TIS THE SEASON OF THE TURKEY

BUT I DO NOT CHOOSE TO LURKEY

THIS POEM IS FOR THE LURKEY TURKEYS ,SORRY MUST HAVE HAD TOO MUCH HOLIDAY CHEER
