Two new Philippine Acquisitions to share

Thanks again for the clarification, Xas. So we have the Tinguian/Kalinga forms (head axes, spears) that are produced locally plus the imported Ilocos Norte knives shown in the figures of Cole. The distinction between the blunt ended knives and swords from the various areas is rather subtle. This is making more sense now.

Which means that the knives shown with choils are Ilokano, but from Ilocos Norte. Correct?
