Default Mandaya Dagger

Seller's picture.



12-3/4 inches in overall length,
14-1/4" in the sheath.
8 1/8" Blade about 1 & 11/16 Wide

While this has some damage I still wanted to get it as I don't have one now and this is a better then average piece and quite rare. I'll take some more pictures when I get it.

Mandaya a tribe near Mindanao.

"Mandaya" derives from "man" meaning "first," and "daya" meaning "upstream" or "upper portion of a river," and therefore means "the first people upstream". It refers to a number of groups found along the mountain ranges of Davao Oriental,
