Hard to say, Jose. Perhaps mid-to late-20th C. I don't have a clear idea of when these dedicated
hinalung daggers were first produced. The pictures added by Jeff show clearly that the hilt has a wooden core, much like the
pinahig usually has, although I also have several
pinahig that have a socketed hilt like a typical
hinalung.
