Thank you David, I am as well so I want to show it. The point of the blade is like a needle and the blade very well worked, a dagger for real business.

Regards,
Detlef

I have never looked closely at the gunong in its socio-cultural context, but browsing through this thread, it seems to me that there is a plethora of material for a rather solid sort of paper.

Has any such paper/article/commentary already been published?

There was once an online pamphlet from our member Federico Malibago but it's down. BTW, he visited the forum 2008 the last time, did someone know about him? Sadly seems that nobody saved the text!?
And what we know exact? Most is a pure guessing game. And for my own person I can say that I don't will have the time for a project like this beside my job.

Hello Detlef, Like David I really love the blade on this gunong. The simple but lovely engraving, the slender elegance of the needle pointed blade with its long sharpened false edge, the file work on the short flat section of the spine all combine to make this not only a truly beautiful dagger, but a seriously deadly one as well. Congratulations on yet another great addition to your collection.

Best,
Robert
