A couple of months ago I was discussing this knife with Laban_Tayo (Shelley) who had also bid on it.
The knife came from a Visayan dealer in the Philippines. It has a blade that is slimmer than the usual talibon, with the usual wide bevel and chisel-ground edge of Visayan knives and swords. The dealer informed me that it was called a pinuti, which I believe means "pointy" in one of the Visayan dialects (please correct me if I have the translation wrong). The dealer went on to say that this knife was from the Eastern Visayas (Leyte or Samar) and probably around 60-80 years old. OAL = 18.0 inches Blade = 13.5 inches Ian. |
