There are no stupid questions!
![]() ![]() But where you see the similarity? ![]() A sikin panjang is straight and a pakayun most of the time curved. Or do you see similarity by the handles? On closer examination they are also quiet different. See the both examples from old threads. Regards, Detlef |

Whether there is a connection between similar grip styles of different ethnic groups in Southeast Asia is another question.
We'd have to look at the meanings of the handles, honestly, I don't really know. Here is another example of the shape that you call the "Y" shape, a Sumara from Sulawesi compared to Sikin Panjang handles and Pakayun handles. Regards, Detlef |

And even by the Ilongot on Luzon you find this form (itung) or on Mindanao by the Mandayas, see the examples.
