The blade is flat on the side not showing while the side shown has a raised median ridge with only the lower edge being sharpened starting from about an inch or so from the hilt. The top section has a false edge that starts about an inch or so from the hilt and continues to the tip of the blade. The picture shown in the plate is not to clear and the description is rather vague so I posted this piece to see if you thought it might be close to what you were asking for.

Robert, many thanks sir

Looks like it's exactly what I've been looking for.

By the way, that dagger of yours is very interesting because its leather scabbard points to a Luzon origin ... but the parallel engraved lines on the ricasso suggest a Visayan influence, if not origin.

I recently got a piece which has similar features (below) -- it's a Luzon sword but I think those parallel lines in the ricasso hints on Visayan influence ...
