How about a photo of the other three to go with these, sort of a family portrait. By the way, six is too many, you need to send me a couple to even things out.

Agree, would be nice to see them all! Nice ones, congrats.

BTW, the upper one is called padsumbalin panabas.

Thanks Robert and Detlef; I called in a favor from my photographer(my wife), and here are the other 3 and 2 others that might be considered panabas.
All are heavy choppers and the spine is at least 1/4" thick at the base.

Thumbs up

Those are wicked looking.
The panabas with the scabbard, photo on top, is the blade missing the curved spike?
Great collection of Panabas'.
Thanks for sharing.

Possible, but I don't think so;if so it was done a long time ago and reformed.Also, the scabbard fits perfectly and it would not accommodate a spike

Wow, what a great collection of panabas! Never before I've seen this type with this sort of decoration near the ferrule.
