Dave,
Beautiful and unique piece...the first I have seen with this type handle. Although probsbly not related at all I find the handle carving interestinly similar to the sun and stars motif found on many Katipunan age weapons and motif adapted for the Filipine Flag (1898 -present).
May not even be related but the three flowers arranged in a triangle around the centeral flower sure seems similar...again great piece with a great blade.
All my best,
John
