Does it make any sense? Someone said it means “good”, “correct”, but others said it didn’t make any sense.

Hi Ian, did your hilt have the tenon as opposed to a mortise like Tanaruz’ hilt?

Is the pommel solid silver or does it have a wood core?

It looks nice. Good job Jose!

It's too narrow to be a remounted N.Philippine spear blade.

Here’s a dagger from the Philippines that has a similar blade profile. Like Shayde78’s dagger, the scalloped edges are unsharpened.
