Hi drac,

Two nice weapons there. The kris blade appears to be Maranao in origin, probably late 19th/very early 20th C. The fighting knife is interesting, and I would like to hear what xasterix has to say about its origin. However, given the Baguio inscription on the sheath, it likely comes from northern Luzon in which case I would say it is Ilokano/Tinguian in manufacture.
