Malugod na pagbati po. I've seen this yesterday being shared by various Filipino blade pages and groups on Facebook, immediately read it, it was good.

Edit: Just a note on Figure 8 (the sansibar from Leyte), someone who's knowledgeable about Waray blades noted that the blade was mislabelled, instead of "tinamban", it was actually an "oyon", an old sansibar profile usually defined by straight spine.

Noted on the "oyon" ID! I'm not familiar with it though- I was taught that once the ricasso is "pinched" and extended, that's automatically a tinamban. My friends from Leyte (residing in areas Tacloban, Carigara, Ormoc, and Burauen) similarly classify a tinamban as such.

It's possible that the "oyon" term might be a (different) town-specific ID, or a younger, alternative term for that blade type.
