Katipunan dagger?

Wow Robert, that is a very nice blade! I am partial to the ones that are engraved or have markings that connect it to Katipunan or the Philippine Republican Army! Thanks also (and to Jose) for schooling me on the differences between the northern Ilocos and the Tagalog styles.

Here is my example of this same type of dagger from Ilocos Norte. Notice the waves, the hilt style, and the back inscription in Spanish stating it was made in Laoag, Ilocos Norte. On the other side it also has the emblem of the 1st Philippine Republic.
