Small Philippine Dagger

Steve, Tom and Migueldiaz,
Thank you all for your comments on this odd little dagger. As stated earlier the tank does not extend all the way through the hilt. The wood of the scabbard and hilt on this dagger are of a very good quality with nice grain and look fare better than shown in the pictures. I should have clean it up a little better before posting the pictures. The carabao horn pin in the toe of the scabbard is slightly off center and needs a drop of glue to help hold it in place better. While the dagger itself almost has an African look to it (but like Steve said the wonderful thing about PI blades is their variety) the scabbard definitely looks Philippine in its style to me. Again my thanks for your help in trying to identify this dagger.
