Yves,
Thanks again for sharing your family's collection. It's interesting how this style of work knife/woman's knife has diffused among various Lumad groups: Bagobo, T'boli, B'laan, Tagakaolo, etc. Tribal differences seem to be in the hilts and scabbards, with the blade form being much the same profile.
I would have difficulty distinguishing this one from a Bagobo example.
Ian.
