As an interesting aside. In a previous discussion Migueldiaz showed us this picture, where interestingly he noted that: "the origin is being attributed to philippines by the museum (victor balaguer)."
So either PERFECT copies were made in the Phillipines, or these were popular there as imports. I suspect the latter as Albacete was a centre for knife making. Last edited by Atlantia; 11th October 2012 at 07:35 PM. |

Spanish 100 % !!! very beatiful knife, type C, from Albacete, it was a ofensive knife, the scabbard seems like a blade, to avoid to see the ofensive blade,and hide the blade, with the scabbard seems a kitchen knife without point.
best regards carlos |

The central brass bars have round holes as yours. But it there are many slight variations. Carlos has a wide range of the 'Type B' which illustrates the main (solid) hilt types. Hopefully he will include a picture here. |

Hi Weapons27,
I wasn't trying to confuse you with the one in the museum in Manilla. These are SPANISH. No doubt, no question. Best Gene Edit: Here is a picture of Carlos collection of type B |

Here are my type A and B.
You can see the similarities between the types. Some other forumites are into these. Carlos has a very fine collection the Type B, double edged types. |
