Unusual combination
Justin:
I'd say this is somewhat of a hybrid of styles. The blade looks Bagobo, and the wood handle resembles some of the handles on Bagobo/T'boli work knives.
But the scabbard looks Visayan -- sort of -- and the small ferrule could also be a Visayan influence.
Probably central of northern Mindanao would be my guess.
Ian.
