I BID ON THIS CLUB OVER 10 YEARS AGO ON EBAY BUT LOST SO ALL I HAVE IS THE PICTURES. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING SIMULAR OR ANY INFORMATION IN THAT TIME. I HAVE SEEN SOME TOOLS FOR SPLITTING COCONUTS, BREADFRUIT, ECT. BUT THIS WOULD BE THE LONGEST THINEST AND MOST ORNATE OF THEM ALL IF THAT IS WHAT IT IS BUT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

THE ITEM APPEARS TO HAVE A GOOD PATINA AND SOME WEAR, IT DOES APPEAR TO HAVE A METAL BAND NEAR THE GRIP AND A HOLE FOR A LANYARD OR CORD FOR HANGING.
THE DESIGN ESPECIALLY THE FLOWER DOES REMIND ME OF PHILIPPINE DESIGN AS WELL AS INDIA AND ISLAMIC DESIGN. I DON'T HAVE ANY REFERENCE ON PHILIPPINE CLUBS JUST ARNIS STICKS BUT AM SURE IN THE PAST CLUBS WERE USED.
