Just bought this piece from another forum member (thanks, Maurice
![]() As I know little about these weapons, I started a search, first on this forum. I noticed that these weapons were discussed several times. Then, I had a 'lookaround' on the internet. A lot of information there, too. But...what about the shape of the blade ? I found out that there are different types of panabas, but where does my piece fit in ? Perhaps the more knowledgeable forum members could 'enlighten' me. My panabas has a total length of 76,5 cm. The blade itself measures 26,5 cm. The handle consists of two pieces of wood held together with 6 iron bands (5 at the top to secure the blade and one at the bottom. Total weight is about 800 gr. The cutting edge of the blade is on the long curved side. Please look at the pics and give my your 'much valued' opinion. Freddy ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
