According to him, alot of the blades did not use enough pitch/glue to secure the blade, and hence the filler (also for fit).
Conogre, difference between Binangon and Tenegre. Zel correct me if Im wrong, since Im not good with this myself, but the binangon are the pieces with more kampilanesque blades, and tengres are the pieces with the clipped point bowie like blades.
