Igorot Utility Knife

Hi Robert,

Your knife has an open-type scabbard which is made by the Ifugao. Note however that not all Ifugao knives come with open-type scabbards. Some have the closed-type as shown in one of samples here.

Wow, beautiful examples of this knife type. I like special the one with the bulul at the handle.

Thank you for sharing,

Detlef

Hello Nonoy Tan and thank you very much for the great examples. Are these part of your own collection? Are these a rare to find item? I ask because the ones that you posted are the only others that I have seen so far and the one with the bulul is the closest to the one I just acquired. Below I have add a combined photo showing both for better comparison. Could you tell me the diamentions of your example? Thank you again for correcting the origin of this knife for me. One last question, what do you think the age on my one piece and your three pieces would be?

Hello Detlef, After this arrives and I have a chance to clean it I will post a new photo of it with the two hinalung that I still have in my collection.

Best,
Robert
