Do you know another style or types of dagger than not were from Philippines? The dagger is expensive and normally I only bought pieces from Philippines.
Best regards and thanks in advance

hello carlos! is the 'tube' something like the one that used to hold human hair like in the pics below? (forgot already who originally posted said pics in the forum). best regards.

I have been looking for this picture to see if it might be like the one that you are referring too. It was sold on ebay and I think it was won my one of our forum members but I'm not sure. I also cannot remember where this picture was originally from ebay or posted here on the forum.
