Bagobo ilap/sangi knife for reference

[Ian]

WW,

Your knife is a bit of a mystery although it fits with the work knives shown above by Detlef from the book. I've extracted images from his pictures that illustrate similar blades and one hilt that has a projection similar to yours.

Regards,

Ian.

Not sure if helpful, but here is knife that was a generous gift from a forum member that has a projection on the hilt. I was informed that this one is called kebahu, more of a basic utility knife than a sangi. His thoughts were the rather phallic projection was used as a scraper.
