Greetings folks,
Here are pictures of a bolo/itak from Pampangas with a flower/sun on the butt of the hilt and on the scabbard. Unfortunately the scabbard shrank over the years and won't fit the blade anymore. This is an update and better pictures than that which I shared years ago. Enjoy. |

I think the other name is not itak but tabak.
Yeah I still question the term katana for this. |

Thanks Ian. I've often wondered if they are related.
