Philippine knife (panabas shaped blade)

Saw several of about the same profile, but without the panabas flare at the toe in Mindanoa. All were used as coconut knifes - in fact that what they called them. Ever try and cut one and you'll know you have to have a pretty hefty and sharp blade to do it one swing. The downward angle lets the blade stop in the chopping block before your knuckles get bashed.
