Kris shaped knives & daggers from Northern Philippines?
 

Over the short time I've been interested in Philippine weapons I've seen some Kris shaped knives and daggers that weren't Moro. Many were low quality pieces made for souvenirs, but occasionally one sees pieces that are well made. I was hoping the more experienced and informed collectors could share pictures of these nice pieces from their collections. I would also like any information on their history that you could share. Thanks!

Excellent links Robert. I'm going to search the archives again, using different terms.
Thanks,

There are other non-Moro groups and tribes. If you are interested you can try searching for Mandaya, Bagobo, T'boli, Igorot, Bontoc, Kalinga, and Lumad for starters.
