Visayan/Moro Dagger - thoughts?

A very interesting and unusual dagger Jose. I love the carving, the teeth and all the silver work on it.

As I know nothing about this, unfortunately I cannot add anything useful to the discussion. Great find and congratulations on being able to acquire it for your collection.

Best,
Robert

Jose,

Is the blade chisel ground?

Jonathan, it is double edged with a median line down the blade.

I agree Ron, these may really be monkey's teeth!

Here are hopefully better pictures:
