Hi Detleff,

My mistake, I checked their left side, as the post stated, and saw a huge demi-sword. Didn't notice the sangi on the right..!

Thank you again. Best regards.

Manuel

There is currently a knife listed as a Sangi in a on line auction. It looks to be more recent then the one at the to of this tread. I have seen old pictures of Bagobo men that appear to be wearing these knives from their shoulders but the clairity is not there to be sure.
