Powder-Monkeys Knife

[Robert]

Detlef, thank you for your kind words and thoughts on this knife. Until now I was starting to wonder if anyone was still interested in Philippine items. This style of knife in particular has a long naval history as well as being used by ground forces during war times. Their use has been discussed here before, but finding a single example (or even a photo of one) that actually fits all the requirements needed to do this task properly has until now proven to be all but impossible, at least for me anyway. Hopefully others will take interest and share any examples or information that they might have on knives made for this task.

Best,
Robert

Hello Robert,

after a little google search I've only found a few US counterparts of much later date so I hope like you to see other ones from the Philippines.

Best regards,
Detlef
