I'd love to see some quality modern reproductions of Southeast Asian or African weapons (though I suspect they would cost just as much as some antiques) like you can get European/Japanese/Chinese sword reproductions.

Interested in a Kris, Barong, mandaus (obviously I know about HI)
 
Try Valiant Co for Philippine and Indonesian weapons, reviews have been good, especially for their Goloks.

It has always seemed a bit odd to me that while you can buy western and Japanese swords from many makers for basically every level of quality/price point, for the most part Chinese weapons available are shoddy junk. Especially odd given how much of the "Japanese" weapons are made in China. Must not be much of a market for higher grade stuff I guess.
 
Try eBay. You can find genuine Philippino Barong/Bolo/Itak/Gininting/Kris for a very reasonable price.
