Similar characteristics to a Moro bangkung. Parallel development or one culture adopting from another? Even the long silver ferrule looks like a Moro punto.

Ian I was thinking the same thing! Could have fooled me (and did).

On a second glance however, the "belly" of the middle blade is not straight but slightly curved or convex at the edge. Moro banking are usually straight at the edge.

Still love it and the double twist core.
