finally, the bottom one is similar to the one on top. the handle is traditional yakan style with a twist: it looks like it's made out of banati wood and is heavily ornated. the punto is made out of brass with some okir designs. on the tip of the handle, there's a coin dated '1915' on it. the blade tip is similar to the one on top also; ala kampilan. the design actually looks like the same type of pattern one sees on a kris. any thoughts and/or comments on these hybrids?
