Default Ifugao knife

I'm not familiar with the blade profile so thought I would share in case interesting to others. I also just like it. It has 21.75cm blade with 7.5mm spine with aggressive distal taper. It is very sharp, nicely balanced, and performed well as a chef knife making fajitas despite not having a full flat grind. Hard to tell on age, but older than the scabbard with well worn woven rattan rings on the handle. It was made from a file (striations still visible in parts).

Admiring the weaving around the hilt. Looks precise and tight. Thanks for sharing.

the blade is in a lightly different shape than I'm used to. Nice.
