makes me think; was it seacow- or 'dugong'-teeth they used or perhaps whaletooth for the ivoryhandle. Am not sure if seacows do/did live in the Phill's and if whaletooth ever stranded there (never heard/seen myself).

No need to wait for a stranding: Both, dugong and sperm whale were hunted all over the archipelago.
