Question about Filipino weapons, doubled edged and/or two handed.

Does abeniko terradas not use both edges? (I'm totally ignorant of the wrist position, so maybe it uses the flat?)

Also nicks in a blade can come from anything, including having your weapon struck from above by your opponent, for instance if he's attacking your blade to get inside your guard, or I think some of the parries from DeQuerdas. At least that's my impression from my very limited knowledge of escrima.
