Hi Carlos,

I agree with Battara that the blade looks late 19th C and Ilokano in manufacture. The spiral-grooved hilt is consistent; the narrow cross-guard and knuckle bow not so much; and the engraved decoration on the silverwork is unusual for Ilokano work. At one time the grooves in the grip would have been filled with braided wire (probably silver or brass).

Nice dagger.

Ian
