Wavy dagger - info requested

[migueldiaz]

David, thanks for the comment Indeed on the one hand, it strikes me as Luzon, too. On the other hand, the hilt shape (i.e., cylindrical) and ornamentation (the 'dots') are not typically Filipino. That's why I had some doubts. But now that you mentioned it, perhaps it really is a Luzon dagger. Thanks.

Shape of the handle throws off... but yeah, most likely filipino. Is it carabao horn.

[Battara]

I agree Luzon, perhaps even Ilokano, but very recent, certainly post WWII (note the thin aluminum spacers).

This could be an older Indian made knock off?

[migueldiaz]

Thanks for all the comments!

Hi there.
I have some pictures of a dagger of very similar design here.



I acquired it from a person who said it of middle-eastern origin, though I'm not sure if that is a fact or a guess.

Here is my number

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this reply

I think this one could be Indian, I have seen similar stamped "India", or "made in India".

I don't know if it's just me, but all these links come up as invalid for me.
As i stated before, i have a blade almost exactly like this and i am still wiling to bet it is from the Philippines. The sheath is horn like the handle on the front side and wood on the other side with the same aluminum stud designs on the front face. A very low rent dagger that i spent less than the price of a dinner on, but it is big, awesome sharp and dangerous.
