Any ideas on its age and use.... a weapon or a tool, this century ( the last hundred years) or earlier.

Hello David,
a golok is mainly a farmers tool, special this simple ones and still in use so it will be difficult to determine an age for it. I would guess middle last century for it since it has seen use. Do a little bit research by the key word "golok" and you will find other examples.
Be careful with the Philippine blades, they are addictive!
