Hi Mr. Vadoo thank for the information, i agree that might be the part of bone used on the dagger.

I see, so the Indonesia and Malaysia have similar dagger like this also. Which i think might be correct because most Philippine swords has an influence of Indonesian design (like the kris sword). And i see the dagger has a relation on magical or spiritual usage, but don't know the exact purpose.
