A Very Different Philippine Dagger

Robert · 3rd July 2014, 10:24 PM

Hello Ian, Thank you for your thoughts on this very different dagger. I am in total agreement on this being a very nasty fighting weapon as I can see no other use for a blade designed in this style.

Hi Detlef, Yes this is a very unique piece and hopefully someone will either have seen something similar to this or possibly have a photo of another of this style.

I will be posting more photos of this later after I have had a chance to replace the missing brass band and hilt cap. I will also be filling the bug holes and tunnels in the horn hilt in an attempt to help stabilize and preserve it.

Best,
Robert
