Would love to see more examples...even the small ones. How do the blades usually rank in terms of quality?

It's interesting seeing the pictures with the afar carrying the big jile, and an AK-47 on the shoulder....and that's NOW. Somehow, the idea of barong/kris-wielding Filipinos and present-day headhunters isn't so farfetched anymore. The knife can easily co-exist with the semi-automatic...
Thank you both,
Emanuel
