HI Kids. Below are pictures of my Bagobo with a double twist core blade. I later changed the chains on it. The scabbard is an old one that I obtained from Spunger. The cloth and tacks are original. I added the brass coils on the finials and replaced some of the missing brass links. It fits perfectly to the bolo. Again, maraming salamat Ron.
Enjoy. ![]() |

Hello Jose,
As always you've done a beautiful restoration on the scabbard. This is a great match-up even though as you say it is not original to the blade. Could you please post a close-up of the hit as I would very much like to see the detailing of the guard casting. Thank you very much for sharing. Robert |

Would the colour difference between the edge region and the rest of the blade be due to differential heat treating?

Hello Jose and thank you for posting the picture of the hilt, it is an absolute beauty. I do not remember if I have ever ask before but are these done by the lost wax method or some other way and is the material used on this brass, bronze or something else? Again, thanks for sharing.

Yes Kisak, the color difference is in fact due to tempering.
Robert, they used a lost wax method and then stamped with tools. |

Wow! Gorgeous piece! I'm sure fitting that brass guard piece to the burled wood hilt would have been a bear!

Scabbard looks great too! |

Jose,
I liked this piece when you posted it for me on the other thread. I have to say it changed my opinion of Bagabo workmanship, up until this piece their craft seemed crude in comparisome to other tribes. But this piece wow. |

Got a question: would the blade structure be considered "turkish ribbon?"

Well I finally finished unwrapping the cloth material and found a strap. I then restored the missing horse hair. Here is the picture of the finished work with a picture from Cole's The Wild Tribes of Davao District Mindanao for comparison.
Enjoy ![]() |

![]() Also, on the subject of twistcores. I think the pattern you have (which has been used worldwide) can also be called Turkish Twist, Turkish starry night, Star pattern etc. I think it depends on how well defined the 'stars' are, and I think of ribbon as being more....... 'loose'? I wonder what the Celts or the Vikings called star pattern? |
