Like Bill's huge Panabas, this is also a published piece.

Thanks Kino. your pictures are very helpful. I assume that you mean that this is in Cato's book (besides looking familiar). These closeup pictures are wonderful. Maraming Salamat.

BTW - what is the "28" about?

Way sapayan, B. Yes it's in Cato' book & in Arts of Asia magazine.

I don't know what the "28" means. I noticed it when I was cleaning the blade.

Let me know if you have problems in securing the whale bone. I know of someone that deals in Ivory (marine, elephant, fossil), and others of related
nature.

Nice catch on the Kamp.
