Wavy dagger with barong hilt?

The guard style and scabbard of this piece is consistent with Cavite-provenanced blades.

Hullo Xasterix.

Thank you very much for the correction. I have been under the impression that wavy-bladed knives from Luzon were all Ilocano in origin. It's good to know that they were produced elsewhere in Luzon.

You mention provenanced pieces from Cavite. Can you provide pictures of some of these for our archives?

Regards,

Ian.
