Found these on a flea market, in a bunch, packaged in a tissue.
Had to refurbish a few handles and make a presentation board. This is the result. A few of the blade have a vague inscription, like Rick's ones. If Rick's ones are from around 1910, I guess mine must be about the same age ? Any help to name each weapon will be welcome. Thanks Michel |

Hi guys , my largest examples are 5.75" or so .
The handles are bone , the blades steel shaped on one side only . I replaced the pommel ferrule on the bolo with a bit of silver ( it has tarnished in quite nicely). The names on my examples are (from top to bottom) Lug Log Bolo kiya Naraui Balacion Last edited by Rick; 17th April 2005 at 08:31 PM. |

Hello all,Great "mini" stuff !!! I bought this shadow box display from a wwII vet stationed in the PI . It was made by the natives on Palawan to sell to the Japanese soldiers!!! Notice the painting of the Geisha!!! When we displaced the japanese,the US soldiers bought them up!!!Funny how fast one's customers can change
 Anyway,the quality of these knives is excellant!!! Looks and feels like high chromium steel.Where they got this material from on Palawan is a mystery to me.  Any ideas?
