Congratulations! I was wondering if whoever outbid me would show up here!

Can't help you with the tribal information, but as to its use, given how much larger and heavier it seems to be over the average example I've seen I'd guess it to be an executioner's weapon as opposed to a battlefield or ceremonial piece.

i believe this is a pangtuli-tuli panabas. the two distinct panggil by the handle is a dead giveaway...

Ouch! I don't know about that Spunjer. I've seen a few Pangtuli-tuli Panabas in Mandawe.They were a bit smaller than the dimensions Panday stated. I remember a few Pisot's walking towards the guy with the Panabas.

Kino, according to Cato the Angel of Death Panabas "Malkalmaut" claimed over a thousand heads, now it puzzles me, I wonder how many Pisot's did mine claimed? Man, that's ritual.....

Don't drop that on your foot!

Nice panabas. "PanaBeast" Biggest one I ever heard of.

the panggil are those two protruding appendage on the blade closest to the handle, while pangtuli-tuli literally means to uncap, or take one's cap off, in iranun dialect..
