Ethnic Knives group: Do you own an especially cool antique or ancient Ethnic Knife?

If you own an especially cool Ethnic Knife or sword, which we have defined as one that is handmade, custom-made, traditional tribal or ceremonial, and it's an antique (i.e., 100 yrs old or older up to 499 yrs old) or ancient (500 yrs old or older) knife or sword from anywhere around the world, tell us about it and provide a photo for us to look at it. Also, if you know anything about its cultural, historical or technical background, or its maker, we want to know about it.

This very nice Philippine Punyal dagger from Luzon was made in the late 1890's. All of these daggers/knives were made by hand and though you can sometimes find a matching pair they are very rare. This dagger has a brass guard and fittings with a wire bound grip made from water buffalo horn. It also still retains its original tooled leather sheath.
