Two new additions to the Luzon collection
Here are two new additions to my Luzon collection. First a long dagger, 53,5 cm long, the blade is 36 cm long without the bolster, 7 mm thick at the spine behind the bolster.Horn handle interlard with metal nails and brass mounts. Maybe Ilocos Norte? Raymundo just told me that it comes from Rizal!

And here a nice heavy bolo from Meycauayan, Bulacan (my guess), mid. to end of the 19th century, I would call it tabak. 45 cm long inside scabbard, 44,2 cm without, blade 29,7 cm and 9,5 mm thick at the spine behind the handle. Horn handle with brass mounts. Raymundo just told me that it is either from Bulacan or Laguna.

Both are very nice. The handle of the top piece looks very heavy relative to the narrow blade profile, must be interesting to handle. For the second, is tabak a name for the style?
