Visayan Knife With Dogs Head Hilt

Robert · 25th March 2014, 11:42 PM

Hello everyone, Just wanted to share this interesting little knife/dagger that I picked up recently thanks to another forum member doing a little spring cleaning. It has a chisel ground blade, a elongated octagonal horn guard, brass ferrule with a well carved wooden hilt in the shape of a grinning dog. The ferrule itself looks like it could have been made from a large caliber shell casing. Any information or comments on this piece would be very welcome. Thank you.

Best,
Robert
