For those of you who would like to expand your interest to indigenous Philippine weapons, the best web store, by far, is Ron Kosakowski's Traditional Filipino Weapons site.
A tremendous selection of over 50 weapons, including swords, knives, axes, staffs, canes, and sticks is highlighted by an incredible variety of hand manufactured swords of combat quality. These Filipino blade art pieces go far beyond what is commercially available elsewhere, having bought from such vendors as Kris Cutlery, whose wares are decent, they unfortunately can't compare to the TFW offerings. Just check out Ron's testamonials page to see reviews by such celebrities as Dan Inosanto and Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje.
Your choice of these as collectibles, wall-hangers, test cutting weapons, or as martial art implements, all are hand forged, with beautiful indigenous hardwood handles and scabbards.
Shipping is reasonable and Ron will send them virtually anywhere in the world. Expect a very fast shipment and these razor sharp weapons come well packed with sword and sheath separate and blades rust protected (expect to do a little light cleaning with WD40).
Pricing on most swords is under $200 and you just can't go wrong on any model.
