Padsumbalin Panabas
Been looking for one of these for a while. 36" overall length. While most panabas feel a bit clunky in the hands, more like an ax --- this one feels like a two handed sword.
Light and fast. Blade is double edged the full length on the curved side and about half of the other side.
The scabbard splits. Makes me wonder if it was swung like a kampilan in scabbard and cut through some kind of rattan and into the victim.
Any comments on this rare piece?
