[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 5613906, member: 2844"]It looks like a European flambard or flammard to me, the blades of Filipino kalis-derived daggers look wider to me. Flambards are often called flamberge, but the original flamberge or Durendal, the legendary sword of Roland, was a straight sword. The flammard or flambard has nothing to do with Durendal or Roland, it is the correct term for wavy swords and daggers that originated in the German lands and Low Countries. Just to be sure, tagging Filipino kalis aficionado [USER=7258]@Firemandk[/USER] .:)[/QUOTE]
