ODD PHILIPPINE, TOOL/KNIFE

HI MIGUELDIAZ THAT IS JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

AS COLLECTORS WE OFTEN OVERLOOK AND NEVER KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT OR COLLECT THESE SORTS OF EDGED WEAPONS AND ONLY COLLECT THE FANCY DRESS AND PRESTIGE OR WAR WEAPONS. THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH ROYAL FAMILIES OR WARRIORS BEING THOSE MOST SOUGHT AFTER.
NOT ONLY ARE THESE SORTS OF TOOL/WEAPONS USED BY MORE PEOPLE THEY ARE STILL A LIVING PART OF THE SOCIETY NOT JUST SOMETHING BROUGHT OUT FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS. I SAW THE TALIBON STILL BEING CARRIED IN THE COUNTRY BY MANY LOCALS WHEN I VISITED THE PHILIPPINES AND IT IS GOOD TO SEE YET ANOTHER NEAT WORK KNIFE STILL WIDELY IN USE.

NOTE IN THE FIRST PICTURE HOW WELL THE KNIFE AND SCABBARD FIT THE HIP TO BE EASY TO GET BUT NOT IN THE WAY WHILE WORKING OR MOVING ABOUT.
