I have seen this called a Mandaya side knife, also a women's knife. BTW When Anne heard that she grabbed it for her "Kitchen Gallery!"
Supposedly it comes from the Mindanao area. I would really appreciate comements as to any other info and if the above info is correct. I really don't know for sure. |

Hi Bill
I don't think that your knife is Mandaya maybe Bilaan or Bagobo. Here is one that I picked a few months ago. Lew Last edited by LOUIEBLADES; 12th November 2006 at 11:35 PM. |

Everyone is right. This is a utility knife used by men and women. It is attributed to the Bagobo/Kaolu and to the B'laan and Tiboli. The Bagobo call it sangngi.

And, how thick are the blades of these knives? I just got one recently, but I'm still undecided about if it's a practical exemplar or something exclusively made to be sold as souvenirs. Just trying to gather more data, in fact...
