Siput/sipit barong (I HATE spell check) is a type of barong with a thinner in width blade than normal, and is attributed to the region of Palawan Island.
I see. That is interesting. This is the first time I encountered the word "Siput/sipit" in describing the blade profile of the barung. I believe the bladesmiths here in the Philippines who make the modern barung does not use that term anymore. Thank you for the information.
