A golok, or perhaps a smallish Bangkung ?
The pommel looks S. Philippines .  The forging is kind of 'down home' ; rough in other words . This crudeness is not often (IMO) seen in Moro work . Last edited by Rick; 10th September 2008 at 03:38 AM. |

looks a lot like a Mexican machete blade, cuchillo de costa, 20th c. the hilt seems Filipino.

As Rick said the pommel looks Phillippine. But, these quality of forged blades show up lately more and more as Dayak choppers on ebay and local auction sites. Among them parang sadap like choppers with very new scabbard and pommel.
I think it is more ment as a tool and as Rick noticed very rough forged. |

I'd say dayak parang. I've got a real similar one, same rough forged blade. It has clear laminations too, I'll see about some pics.
