Bagobo Twist Core Bolo with New Scabbard

Battara · 5th December 2009, 02:18 AM

HI Kids. Below are pictures of my Bagobo with a double twist core blade. I later changed the chains on it. The scabbard is an old one that I obtained from Spunger. The cloth and tacks are original. I added the brass coils on the finials and replaced some of the missing brass links. It fits perfectly to the bolo. Again, maraming salamat Ron.

Enjoy.

Hello Jose,
As always you've done a beautiful restoration on the scabbard. This is a great match-up even though as you say it is not original to the blade. Could you please post a close-up of the hit as I would very much like to see the detailing of the guard casting. Thank you very much for sharing.

As per your request Robert, here is a close up of the hilt:

Would the colour difference between the edge region and the rest of the blade be due to differential heat treating?

Hello Jose and thank you for posting the picture of the hilt, it is an absolute beauty. I do not remember if I have ever ask before but are these done by the lost wax method or some other way and is the material used on this brass, bronze or something else? Again, thanks for sharing.

Yes Kisak, the color difference is in fact due to tempering.

Robert, they used a lost wax method and then stamped with tools.
