Hi Thomas:
Nice little knife. While there is some similarity to the Visayan plamingko (plamenko), including the finger notch, Wayne is correct about its origin. This is a Thai work knife, but not a bendo as I understand that term (in Malay at least) to mean a short, heavy-bladed, fat-bellied chopper usually used to split coconuts. This thread has some pictures of the plamingko (plamenko) knife from the Visayas--also a work knife. Ian Last edited by Ian; 10th January 2020 at 11:25 PM. Reason: Added link |

Very nice and seldom seen Southern Thai knife/mead.  Fittings could content gold, silver and copper.Would like to see the blade polished and etched.  When you ever boring it.....  I am a sucker for unusual Peninsula blades!  Regards, Detlef |
