I HAVE A DAGGER JUST LIKE THAT AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE I PICKED IT UP AROUND 1965. I WILL SEE IF I CAN DIG IT OUT TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY WIRE IN THE HANDLE OR A SHEITH. I HAVEN'T SEEN MANY OVER THE YEARS SO I WOULD GUESS THEY ARE UNCOMMON. INTERESTING BLADE AS IT IS MADE TO LOOK ALMOST LIKE A SPEAR BLADE.

I have a similar hilted katipunan bolo and the nail keeps the twisted brass wire in the handle also, at both ends.

Mine has a hole about the width of the groove at the end of each channel. A dowel made of horn or wood holds the brass strip in. I'll post dimensions tonight.

Vandoo and Battara, could you post pictures and dimensions of the examples that you have? Would anyone like to make a call on whether or not this piece is Spanish Colonial? Thanks to everyone for your replies.
