Very sharp, single edged blade with a false edge starting at about the middle of the blade. Unfortunately, there is no sheath.

Hi Freddy, I have a similar piece which I got from Fernando. But I have yet to firmly establish as to what region in the Philippines such types come from.

Given that such blades (the one you and I have) are not chisel-ground (i.e., the Visayan blades), then in all probability your sword came from Luzon.
