Can't quite call this one a dagger as it has a partial false edge on the back. It does seem to be consistent with examples from Luzon region of Philippines. It is just under 12" long. Very similar in feel to a SF commando dagger.

My main question (if, in fact, my above assertions are at all accurate), is if anyone can conjecture regarding the word "JALISE" and arrow shape inscribed on the ricasso. Any speculation is welcome.

Thanks everyone!
