The dagger arrived today so I will post more pictures tomorrow. This is a very heavy piece weighing in at 1-1/4 lbs. Unlike most daggers like this that I've seen this one would be very good for slashing as well as for stabbing. A very nicely made blade that is still quite sharp. There is a little difference in the dimensions so here are the correct ones.
Blade length = 9-1/8" Blade at widest = 1-3/4" Blade at thickest = 3/8" Guard thickness = 13/16" Hilt length = 4-7/8" Pommel cap thickness = 1/4" Robert |

Nice example Robert. Definitely from Luzon, perhaps north of Manila. BTW, I would give the sheath a little mink oil to keep it supple.

Hi Ian,
Thank you for your reply. You are not going to believe this but I just got through going over the sheath WITH mink oil when you made your post.  Robert |

Good job! It looked a little dry. This synchronicity stuff is really weird.

Here are the new pictures. When I put the mink oil on the sheath it really made a difference in the way it looks.
