Battara, Thank you as usual for the information. I thought this was probably Ilocano as it was so much like the last two daggers that I've posted.
Steve, I am happy to hear that you are one of the other people here on the forum that appreciate this style of weapon as much as I do. If you would, please post pictures of any example of these that you might have.
Does anyone have any information or even suggestions on the reason for such an elongated tip as on this dagger? To me it would seriously limit its usefulness except for one. Could this possible be a Philippine version of a Misericord dagger?
