Big knife and dagger from Philippines??

There are my 2 last adquisitions, one is a impressive big knife, seems from Philippines, with a lenght of 25 inch!!, with a beatiful leather sheath in good state. The other is like a dagger, lenght 19.5 inc, with sheath in wood with a rare carved piece. I´m not sure if this pair of pieces are from Philippines, Mexico and his age.
THanks

Carlos,
I would think your big knife is Philippines and from the first quarter of the 20th century. The dagger I would guess to be Spanish Colonial Philippines probably late 19th century. I'm sure that someone with more knowledge will give you a more definite answer to your questions if I am wrong. By the way, very nice pieces. Congratulations!

Robert
