Thanks for the specs, David!

Quote:

The Mandaya's max. thickness is approx. 1/16" on the beveled spine and the thickness after the bevel is approx.5/16"

How thick is the lower (unsharpened) bevel?

Within the period, I'd be inclined to believe that the wavy "kris" blade might be the earliest, the "ginunting" possibly a bit later, and the Mandaya the youngest of the lot.

Regards,
Kai
