My interest originally started in martial arts, especially escrima and arnis with modern stuff like balisongs. However, right after I got married, I wanted more historical things, so my first old piece was an SA Nazi dagger, but after lots of trading and learning, I moved toward mostly my Filipino heritage.

Now it has grown to mostly Filipino, some Ottoman/Turkish, some Indonesian, Indian, and some sacred/religious weaponry (and some Philippine textiles). I am also interested in Arabic, Scottish, Tibetan, and Japanese to name some other areas of interest.

It is the artwork, spirituality, anthropology, and history of these human symbols and artifacts that keep my interest and connection.
