Hello I have been looking at the traditional filipino weapons page for some time now and just wanted to ask if their are any other manufacturers of note that products such its as the espada that might be better or comparable?

On the Kris Cutlery website it says they'll have in Espada y Daga sets in February. One of the big differences between the KC and the TFW may be that TFW through-hardens their blades while KC tends to differentially harden. IDK if that would be better or worse for you, though I will say that my DH Kris Cutlery Pinuti Is super tough. Also KC stock seems to come in small batches, and stuff only appears sporadically. Never handled TFW stuff, but I really want to!

I think the verdict's still out on the newer kc stuff (since he switched the suppliers), but if it's anything like his old listings it's a better deal. Tfw is very good too though (have two outstanding pieces from them), and ron recommends his espada y daga

Lo and behold, KCB has an Espada y Daga set. They are shipping direct from the PI, it seems, which may be better or worse depending on your location. I'm more accustomed to sending balikbayan box THERE, so IDK how long it would take to get to you. www.kalahicustomblades.com/traditional-philippine-bolosAlso thanks to Croccifixio for his ginunting review from them.

You're welcome. I hear they have a deal with DHL for shipping so it wouldn't be too expensive. As for how long, i'm not too sure. Judging from the Facebook page, it seems to take 3 days to a week to ship. If you get one, let us know how it fares!
