A VERY UNIQUE SWORD I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THE WORK PROGRESSES. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS SEEN A SIMILAR METAL SCABBARD FROM THE PHILIPPINES. PERHAPS YOU CAN GIVE THE BLADE AN ETCH TO SEE IF IT IS WATERED STEEL. YOUR BLADE REMINDS ME OF THE BLADES ON SOME OF THE SWORDS FROM FORMOSA MINUS THE POINT. I THINK THE CLIPPED POINT STARTED DURING SPAIN'S OCCUPATION AND CARRIED ON INTO THE USA PRESENCE. .
