LOL!!!!
Ok Kronckew! 'crocodylus Dundee' !! the mythical Australian warrior, and flyssas from the wilds of Ohio !!! JUDL!! You're outstanding

I agree this is from the Philippines and probably Luzon or northern regions, if not mistaken these are termed 'talibon'. I always thought that it was very interesting that these had the same deep bellied blade and needle point as the flyssa. More support for the strong trade ties between Philippines and the Maghreb via the Spanish.

All best regards,
Jim
