Glad you got this Jose...I know one of this type had been on the wish list for a long time! Congrats!

After the prices I had seen ($7000

) I almost gave up. This may not be worth that much (or not any more with the recession) but I still was barely able to afford this one. As Vandoo once said, I will be eating beans and rice for a long time.

Personally, I like beans (red or black) and rice.

Not too high a price to pay at all for an item of this quality as far as I'm concerned. It's just too bad the wife doesn't seem to look at it in the same way.

A great new addition to your collection!!!(this is where we need a jealousy icon) Does this mean that I will be having a little less competition on some of the Philippine items now that you're into collecting yataghans?

Funny how you now have 2 Yatagans (as far as I know), and Spunjer just recently posted one of his own. What is this world coming to

Actually you started the trend, brah! You posted that barung with a yat in the background, and all of a sudden i started having this urge to add a yat in my arsenal... but hey, if someone wanna trade a complete silver junggayan kris like the one artzi have in his gallery, i'll be more than happy to go all moro once again

Well, glad to help Spunger.

And Kino, if you want to talk theology, I'm game (lots of seminary training

).

Here is a display of my humble and meager Ottoman collection:
