What can I say theres no place for the P.I.
A philippine Bolo probably a SANDUKO due to its nearly 30 inch length.
Handle Water Buffalo, Sheath sewn leather, Blade sharp semi saber ground. Probably WWII or before.

Hey;
There a possibility the large one could be a North Borneo Barong. If so that is the one a lot of U.S. bolos were modeled after.Never seen the smaller one before.

The smaller one was definitly used as some type of tool. It has a very hard wood handle (Some type of Green Wood) the blade is a very thick steel, and you can see the back of the blade has been hammered on, basically a heavy duty type meat cleaver. I can not for certain verify it is from P.I. but I have two others it came with that are from there. I posted the other before, and I can dig around and post another one here.
