Greetings everyone,
I was wondering about the following.
If you would have to establish a methodology for organizing Philippines Edged Weapons into a comprehensible system, how would you do? In other words:
a. How much main variation is there in the weapons according to regions?
1. Are Moro weapons different from other regions?
2. What are the main entirely native weapons variations? Keris/kris, Kampilan, Bolo, Barung? What else?
3. Have the meeting with the Spanish resulted in specific sword shapes or they are more of a result of casual hybridation?
Thank you all for any enlightment
