Tribal sword or cutless in scabbard

Hi I have this Sword it's 72cm's has a carved wooden handle and wooden scabbard.
Wooden handle bound with copper band. Blade 33mm's at it's widest part and very sharp. Would love to upload photos but keeps telling me file to large. There must be a way but I'm not sure how ?

 

pls show any markings on the blade......

 

Just from your description, it may be a barong - a traditional knife in the Philippines. Try googling it and see if it is the same.

 

1 1/4 inches at it's widest part.....? 28 12 inches long.....?


i don't think so......

let's see those pics first !

 

OK, so my grasp of metrics is not what it should be.....

 

you didn't consider the size given, you concentrated on the handle alone.... which as I've shown would be a good call....if not for the blade size...

 

I also considered the wooden scabbard, which are typical, as illustrated by your example.

 

good point.....the wood , would point in that direction....
but also in others...
i considered a ....


Dha...for it's size...& thin blade.....sometimes with copper on the handle...

BUT...pics....we live & die here by photographs......!!
& even then.....some days.......it's best guess !!

 

Also good suggestion. We shall see when we see.

 

screw that....I wanna see...NOW !!!

Blades are one of the few places on this site where I can be of any help !!

 

Sigh.......I'll just have to calm down !!

But I luv me some blades !!

 

and then some...............

 

Like this one?

 

that's interesting.........for a fantasy blade.

 

I guess some people would call his knives fantasy items,but they are very expensive collectors items.... http://antoniomontejano.blogspot.com/p/mis-imagenes.html

 

I'm sure they are.....but my taste runs towards something more functional...


like Gil Hibben...

 

but he does go high fantasy too.....
