thanks for the info
many thanks, any and all information is appreciated. Do you think it is old? Did it have a special purpose. Searched for information of tribe and several type of knives where mentioned. was this weapon used by head hunters or used for executions or just a utility bush knife? Is there a name for this type of knife? Does it have any value? thanks, Joe

Possible attribution is Ifugao, one of the Igorot head hunting PI tribes.
