hi,
was just wondering about this knife. it looks a lot like your everyday gunong but i hate to jump to that conclusion. it has a very subtle wavy blade and looks to be quite old. then the handle: it is not the typical bulbous type you see floating around. it looks like it's crudely carved and the wood is very light compared to the gunongs i've handled before. the scabbard seems to be made out of the same type of wood which is very light. there are MOP inlays on one side of the scabbard,and X's engravings on the other side. also, instead of your typical wide metal band, this one has these real fine wire wound around it. indonesian, maybe?
