Talibongs
Nice collection! I agree with your statement that talibongs are one of the more commonly available Filipino knives and swords available in the States, because of US servicemen bring backs. I have a couple of talibongs but have passed on many others either due to a condition issue (broken or replaced handles) or just a super high price. Part of my hesitation is due to the knowledge that I have been gaining from this fine forum, which helps me make a better assessment of a piece's true value.
