Question about Philippines Dagger hilt

Hello everybody!!
I have a question about hilts of Philippino daggers and knives. I have seen one dagger to sell with hilt ( not carved) with a pommel type hand closed with a tube in his hand .
Do you know another style or types of dagger than not were from Philippines? The dagger is expensive and normally I only bought pieces from Philippines.
Best regards and thanks in advance

Almost sounds like the type that small messages were carried during the Katipunan days. Do you have a picture?

I have been looking for this picture to see if it might be like the one that you are referring too. It was sold on ebay and I think it was won my one of our forum members but I'm not sure. I also cannot remember where this picture was originally from ebay or posted here on the forum.
