Weren't brass blades sometimes made to bypass magickal protections against iron?

Default Same Seller over the top sale
http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=120278293669 I bid on this in the early stages for the punal. Is this the start of EBAY Fever Virus?
$380.00 for a punal is steep.

I watched this one with some interest. To me, and it's only my opinion, the gunong in this one was fairly new and of lower quality. The koummiya scabbard looked touristy as well. But they're not my forte'.

Default Gunong/ Punal ????
Steve, It's time I learn the difference, would you mind explaining the fine points on Identification? I agree with your opinion on this bad marriage.

My understanding is that Punal is a Spanish word meaning knife, and is used by the people in the north of the Philippines. Gunong is used for the daggers of the Muslim peoples of the south. I think.
