Very nice! I have one with a similar blade shape, but the hilt is different. And the one that you posted a link to, that has a similar hilt, but different blade.

Lovely blades! Does that flap on the sheath help hold the blade sheath in the sash/belt?

That's what I've always thought. It seems to be a Visayan feature.

I also have one that has a similar blade profile.

Just curious, did Visayan blades such as the tenegre, sanduko, pinuti, binagong, etc. have clip-points and false-edges before the arrival of the Spanish or after Spanish influence?
