 The lower one in post 4 is a right-handed example . The bevel is gentle and convex and starts at the spine unlike most ground bevels . The photo fools the eye . |

Can you please show us a pic of that talibong from another angle that shows that gentle convex bevel? Additionally and if it's not too much to ask, can you pls. show us also a close up of the pommel? Thanks in advance!

Technically speaking thus, would that mean then that that talibong has a combination of flat grind and convex grind, and it's not a chisel grind after all, as explained here?  In any case, it looks like for some the convex grind is a cut above the rest.

Hi Miguel,
Maybe chisel grind is not quite the word we're looking for here . The other (left) side of the blade is absolutely flat . The bevel on this blade looks to be forged in rather than ground ; would you agree ? |
