No problem. I have been a largely negative person for about 18 years... its only the last 2 years I've balanced out a bit. I got a little WW2 tourist talibon knife long ago... it was sold as something else. But even though they are poor examples of the true beauty of Filipino martial crafts and weapons, it sparked an interest in those islands' peoples, cultures, and warfare that continues now.

Kukula28, you have a good point. I started researching weapons after I got them. I now research before, but especially after I get an item - more inspired.
