Just get the information that I've won by a german auction house this rare Ilongot bolo, called "takip ny bekur", blade lenght is 36 cm (14,2 "). So far I know this are woman knives. Coming from the collection of Dietmar Scheit, Berlin. It was described as African bolo.

Nice catch, Sajen.
I love the weaving on the scabbard, never seen one like it. Thanks for sharing. |

Thank you Robert,
yes, I've had great luck to add this two rare pieces to my collection. Funnily, both pieces were described wrong as African, so maybe overlooked by others. I will show detail pictures when I have received the bolo. Regards, Detlef |

Interesting how the tip of the scabbard reminds of the Taiwanese pattern.
