Hello Lew, I don't remember ever seeing any edged weapons from the Philippines with stacked horn and bone hilts before (but there are a lot of things I haven't seen) though I have seen quite a few daggers from Mexico with this style of hilt. Very nice dagger and the sheath looks to be in great shape !!! Does the blade have a raised medial ridge (I can't tell for sure by the picture) and if so does it have one on both sides or it the blade flat on one side, or is it oval in shape? I think that I will wait to see what the experts have to say on the origin of this one.

All in all a very nice dagger and I think you should box it up and send it to me.

Robert if you like this one you should see the little beauty I picked up at Timonium.

It is a 19th century katipunan dagger with a 5.5 inch kris style blade horn hilt with silver fittings on both the hilt and scabbard. Will post some pics on Saturday.

Well I guess anything is possible, but I would lean toward Mexico right now.

Yes PLEASE post the Katipunan piece with silver (I love shiny things
