Default What kind of knife is this ?

I bought this really large Knife/Sword today and I am just trying to learn more about it. This thing is huge, almost 36 inches long

PS... I realize it is more of a souvinier type knife probably a bring back from WW2 or even post WW2

Default Luzon short sword

Hi Alan62:

Northern Philippines in style with full length tang peened over the end of a horn handle, a brass ferrule and small guard. My best estimate would be from central or northern Luzon. The hilt strikes me as possibly Ilocano or from nearby, such as Pampanga (north of Manila).

Ian.
