Sajen,

Thanks for your input. This has every bit the look and feel of a utility knife. Nonetheless, isn't it interesting how decorated these are for such duty!!?? BTW, your examples are very, very nice!

Hello Charles,

agree, the look and feel is like a utilty knife and they are sometimes very fancy and decorated and I like them very much! And I see a lot of similarities with the sangi knives from the Bagobo, they comes sometimes also very fancy.

And you have also some very nice examples: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=siraui

Regards,
