Wavy dagger - info requested

Hahaha that's interesting David

I think it's a nice dagger for what I paid. I find the scabbard a bit ugly but the blade is very sharp and it's got a bit of weight to it.
If we can find out more about these daggers it would be great because I'd like to know as much as I can

Cheers

Frankly Fheng, while i might pick up this blade in a knife fight (mine is pretty big and sharp) i don't think they are really worth putting too much research into (unless, of course, i choose to take Rick up on that bet

). Not any real historical value here. They are cheaply made, mostly, i would think, for the tourist trade.

Well I just thought it would be nice to know a bit more about it. But yeah, it's a cheap tourist knife so I'll just forget it. Check out my other post if you like. It would be great to get some more info http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=16125

I VOTE PHILIPPINE MOST LIKELY A SHOP IN LUZON. THE FIRST I SAW WERE IN THE MID 1960'S AND I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH OF THEM OVER THE YEARS TO THINK THEY MADE QUITE A FEW INITIALLY AND THEN STOPPED PERHAPS SALES WERE NOT GOOD AT THE TIME AND PLACE.? I HAVE ONE AROUND HERE SOME WHERE I WILL SEE IF I CAN FIND IT. IT HAS A GOOD HEAVY WAVEY BLADE BUT KIND OF A STRANGE HANDLE FOR A PHILIPPINE DAGGER.
I HAVE SEEN THE KNIVES FROM INDIA AND THERE IS A RESEMBLENCE BUT MATERIALS AND BLADES ARE NOT QUITE AS GOOD ON THE ONES I HAVE SEEN. DID THE INDIANS COPY THE PHILIPPINES OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND OR JUST COIENCIDENCE
