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.

It's possible that the "oyon" term might be a (different) town-specific ID, or a younger, alternative term for that blade type. Last edited by xasterix; 8th March 2023 at 01:55 PM. |
