The traditional concept of Buso among the Bagobo has essentially the same content as that of Asuang with Visayan peoples. Both Buso and Asuang suggest the Rákshasa of Indian myth. See footnote 2, p. 19. A stout work-knife, with broad, one-edged blade, and square tip; used to hew down trees, and cut kindling-wood.
In old time old men say Ingin make work-knife, war-knife, arrow-head, axe, all ting he want when can't buy. Me make best knife in tribe 'fore me lose arm. Some one must strike for me, an' I turn iron now." Going out, he brought in several fragments of hard wood, and the spike or head of the boat-hook.
In a frenzy he hunted through his kabir, throwing out of it his old work-knife and his rusty spear-head and all the poor things that he kept in his bag. Then he began to moan and weep for his betel-box and gold necklace. By and by he started out to find his lost things.
So that day he went out and made about thirty traps, of sticks with nooses attached, to snare jungle-fowl. His work finished, he returned home. The man said to the lizard, "Halloo!" Then he released the lizard, and gave him his own carrying-bag and work-knife, and told him to go straight to his house.
