I always enjoy seeing the products of your fertile imagination Antonio.

This is a quote from our welcome page.

"Modern custom knives would qualify as an artifact of our own "culture", but will not be considered here, as they are better represented elsewhere."

So even though the theme of the dagger is ethnograhic and was made in the Philippines by a native Philippino it is still a modern non traditional custom piece.

I would rather encourage Antonio and his team to master the making of traditional Moro weapon instead (if possible in traditional method). So the art of Moro weapon is not vanishing and a new quality pieces are available.

I believe there are still some demand in the local area too (Southern Philippines). I would also recommend to made the pieces by order only just the way it done in older time.

Just my opinion.
