Visayan working knife? Or something different?

Hi Ian,

Yes, like I wrote in my headline it's clearly a working knife. A Visayan attribution I suggested only by the handle style and the used wood but this was only a wild guess since I never have seen such a knife before. But like you said, the origin could be from other places also. I am very unsure.
