yes, on some it is; on others it is slightly thicker at the front edge, a feature in common with many Mexican scorpion tip knives, but also producing a "high shinogi" effect as seen on other East Asian island blades. What I am curious about is as to what is the basis of this variation.

Hello Arete,
I just have contolled my Visayan blades again, by all is the ricasso thick as the spine. Can you show an example where it is different? Regards, Detlef |
