As far as I know, Maori don't have metal weapons, I could be wrong though.

You are right....Maori weapons are either green stone, or other stone, also sometimes hardwood.

Thanks everyone. That was extremely helpful. It looks like a talibong so now I just need to find out where it was made (Aklan?,) when it was made (not laminated so probably after WW II,) possibly who made it, and was it for use or tourist trade? Any ideas?
