Not sure if helpful, but here is knife that was a generous gift from a forum member that has a projection on the hilt. I was informed that this one is called kebahu, more of a basic utility knife than a sangi. His thoughts were the rather phallic projection was used as a scraper.

Here is an example of a Bagobo sangi with bells not made in Marawi City. This is from Bagobo hands and the bells are different. Comes from National Geographic 1944, vol 86, p567. The hilt looks wood to me in this picture.
