BAGOBO BETEL NUT KNIFE
Hi friends,
Sharing from my father's collection, a Bagobo betel nut knife. Bought from a seller in the US years ago. Regards Yves |

Hi Yves:
Interesting item. Looks as though it has some age. The brass chains and bells resemble T'boli work. Ian. |

I've noticed that on these. That is why I wonder if it is in fact T'boli...........

Woman’s blade
This small woman’s blade is Tboli. Aside from the bells and chains noted, the small ‘half-moon’ markings on the blade are very Tboli.

Good point Marbel. I have seen these marks on T'boli blades.

Here is one of my T'boli pieces and a close up of the blade with those "crescents" in the top of the blade.
