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?

Thanks Jeff! Yes the weight is at the handle, it's a long dagger and can be handled like this.

More excellent additions to your Luzon collection of Spanish colonial knives from the 19th C. Congratulations!

Here are several that you posted previously and I think it's helpful to keep them together because Xasterix added his expertise in assigning origins for them also. Here are the identifications that he settled on a couple of years ago:

1. Quezon
2. [correction] Pangasinan
3. Pampanga
4. [correction] Bulacan OR Pampanga
5. [correction] Northern Luzon
6. Quezon
7. Pangasinan

Regards,

Ian.

Thank you Ian,

Will soon post a new overview, there is also this piece in the pic, a Pangasinan katana, which will come to me tomorrow.
