Bone Ifugao ginutto

Hello. Curious if others have seen ginutto with bone disks instead of the usual shell. Clearly a lot less work to produce.

Ah, got it on the notches. These come to mind from my collection first two are from dua lalan handles. Accepting the four lobes are backed by a diamond and have a central circle, I find similarity....

Just to add to the discussion. I chatted with Charles Saunders on this topic some time ago while discussing the gayang below, and this was his reply (posted with his permission).

I see what you mean, the blade profiles are similar, though I'm not sure what features you are describing as cut outs with the kabeala as a differentiater. Could you describe more? The course...

I would lean towards Sumba though most of the kabealas I've seen have been monosteel. What makes you think Sulawesi? The scabbard doesn't look like any Toraja examples I've seen.

The one without the guard is Bagobo with a very nicely cast hilt and great scabbard. Nice score. The blade should etch nicely. I like the T'boli scabbard too.

Well, there you go. Thank you. Is the scabbard one piece with the open top or two halves? Does the band add a bit of a spring to hold the blade? I've read descriptions of Moro kampilan scabbards that...

Why don't Co Jang have scabbards?

Anyone else curious why Co Jang swords do not typically use scabbards while most other Sumatra/Aceh swords do?

Have you seen one with a double staple before? I'm tempted to replace the missing one but not sure what would be correct in terms of design.

This post didn't catch any takers but figure I should show the sword now that I've received it and had time to clean it up some. I also have a question.

I started by removing the handle and ferule. This was done by clamping blade in padded vice and applying a heat gun to base of the blade until the resin softened enough to pull the handle off. It...

Really nice. I like that you left it with some character. Surprised to hear the blade is light with that thick spine and long/wide blade. Does it handle like a barung?

Interesting Visayan blade

At first glance this appears to be a tenegre, albeit with a narrower profile than most. However, this one is ground on both sides and the top 1/3 is sharpened.
