Interesting.I've always associated this style of dagger as well past WW2;I guess I was wrong again,lol.The workmanship is excellent as you have noted, however, to me, the blade does not look original to the piece.

It is a nice blade, but i am not convinced it is that old. Like Drac i would place any knife of this style as post WWII. I don't believe the extra quality necessary places it in an earlier era. It was simply made for a wealthier clientele. Stylistically it is still a more recent piece. There may be another name for these, but i would call it a gunong.

Hello! This is a blade made in Tugaya area of Lanao. This particular craftmanship style is post-WW2; they sent these blades to be sold in Manila and were particularly popular among tourists.

I stand corrected on the blade.
