These aren’t in hand yet, so the pics are just from the sellers. I will post more when they all arrive. Any thoughts on age and origin are always welcome.

Very nice! I think from Panay, probably Aklanon, from Aklan province.

The first Tenegre came from a private collector in CA, but was once owned by my Grand Master… so it has extra value to me personally.

The second came from an auction the other day here in Florida. I am excited to see it in person and give it a good cleaning… ??? Has anyone seen any interesting patterns in the steel, besides normal Damascus layers?

The third came from a dealer in Europe and came from a collector in Spain.

Kino reminded me today that I got a similar piece from him in 2022, but it has an interesting brass plate forged into the base of the blade just above the guard and a interesting number that might be a date. Pics added below!
