Welcome to our little forum!

Looks like a mixture of Filipino, Nepalese, Moroccan, and even a WWII Japanese tanto. Looking forward to better pictures.

A nice variety of pieces there, you must have been collecting for some time.
I think the Tanto is in a shirasaya, the plain wooden storage mount.

A fair bit of Philippine stuff as well.

Thanks for all of the replies! Recently my collection has been going through a period of rapid expansion, soon I will be posting more photos of some of my recently acquired pieces, along with the rest of my collection that wasn't shown in that overhead picture.

Finally got a good display cabinet. Putting some felt down on the shelves to keep the wood from getting scratched up. I'm still deciding which pieces will migrate from the drawers to the cabinet, and I dont have enough racks to finish the display but it's coming together!

My knife display is about 90% complete. Vaguely separated by region, with some exceptions made for lack of space. A couple of these items were purchased from some of the forum members, one has already been pointed out.
