Filipino Wooden kris.

Have to admit, not seen one like this. However, I doubt it is for practice. The workmanship is to nice to be torn up, and besides, the inlays would pop out upon impact.

Very nice.

So would this be decorative, or do you think it could serve some other purpose? It seems to nice to be for "those who travel."

The other one, that my gym owner has, I have seen used in practice, with impacts against a standard rattan stick. I don't know how hard they were going. I'll try to get some pics of it.

Thanks,
