Some have said in the past PI. I move more towards Indonesia. I have seen these closeup and although it has a certain look, I don't know of any PI piece like it, but more similar pieces from Indonesia. More research will be helpful.

Strongest ID to me of these as PI is the modern chrome plated one I saw with "Phillipines" written in the blade steel. The hilts bear a resemblance to some seen around the Visayan sea....?
