Philippine knife for identification

Sajen · 4th April 2014, 08:59 PM

Here some pictures just taken with flash light, some together with a gunong to get a imagination of the dimensions of the dagger. By time the blade will receive an etch since I think that the blade is laminated. The scabbard has had once a belt hook and by an unknown reason this place is old carved away. The blade is rounded at one side and flat on the other.

Today I have etched some blades and like assumed shows the dagger blade a fine lamination, difficult to see but I hope you can see it by my pictures.

Hello Jose,

I have assumed it when I have cleaned the blade. It seems that more Visayan blades blades laminated as we may think. Do you still remember this Visayan kris: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=visayan ?
The blade is in the moment by a friend who work on the blade to get out the bad grinding marks. This blade shows as well a very nice lamination. Will show pictures from this blade when I have it back in my hands.

Regards,
Detlef

A short sword Michael posted years ago for identification. I am the only one who see an amazing affinity between both handles?
Sorry for using your picture Michael but I want to show the handles side by side for comparison.
Michael, do you have get in the meantime further informations about your bolo? Could it be that both blades have the same origin?
