I hang a few of the large ones by cords from my sword racks. The rest are wrapped up in a drawer. I'd love to have them displayed but my "armoury" is just a small room with my computer desk and a chair. I have khukuris, kris, barongs, tenegre and all manner of sharp pointy objects on the walls. I'm afraid that if I venture out of this room with my collection, I might get serious static from She Who Must Be Obeyed.

Any bigger/individual pics of the one I circled in red, Steve?

It's gorgeous! The carvings are unlike anything I had seen in Moro work. Silverwork looks very Maranao to me though. All in all it's a gorgeous piece.

Thanks Pepperskull. It's a relatively new piece, maybe 1970s? The style is different from all my others, and very unique. I'll try to get a picture tonight.
