Recent purchase in Manila-Mandaya?

It's a Bagobo knife called a Sangi. I've seen it described as a work knife, woman's knife & a grass knife. I've seen only pictures of men carrying it, either slung from the shoulder or in the small of the back. I don't know if it generally carried anymore or not. They pop up on ebay mostly from Davao City, where it seems a lot of newer Bagobo items come from.

Thanks for the info. This shop had alot of Keris knives, but they were all polished, and looked like "tourist" Keris. This one stood out as being real. I thought it looked kind of lonely, so I bought it. Looking back, I should have invested in at least one of the others. Oh well, hindsight is 2020.
