I got this today . I think its filipino but, whats it called ?. brought back from there during WW2 . The fellow I got it from , his father brought back from P.I. . He also had a picture with this blade in it , with some PI Houk headhunters holding up a head !!!!! I tried to buy it but, he wouldn;t sell it . what do you call the blade ... Bubba
 
I am not sure ? except that it came from p.I. during ww2. You may be right, bolo . Thanks for info . Bubba
 
Here is a link to one very similar and they call it a "barong".

Thats it !!! I know my japanese blades but, not too good with filipino weapons. Thanks for the info .... Bubba
 
yea, that's a barong. it's a sword used by the musilim tribes in the sourthern phillippines and borneo. swords like that were used in the spainish american war. good swords.
 
Yep, a barong. I've always liked them, good work knives if you have stuff to chop, and likely a good weapon if you need one. It looks to be a decent quality one, too.
