wow!
is it chromed, or aluminum?
i'm guessing here.. lots of visayans in Mindanao, so i would say originally a visayan blade and had a T'boli handle attached to it? looks like an older piece based on the patina on the scabbard, so it looks like this was done awhile back; maybe turn of 20th century.
still a pretty cool crossover piece tho!
