Two more gunongs

My love affair with this southern Philippine dagger continues.

14 1/2" overall length, inserted edge. First pic is ebay pic with cellophane tape on the scabbard and a "field expedient" leather belt loop. Second is now. I added the rattan wrap, and left the cord wrap at the top. Horn ferrule was split. It has been repaired with epoxy.

10 1/4" monosteel blade. Some fittings are a pinkish color. A copper alloy of some sort I would suppose. Lovely piece.
