I know, that's what's driving me nuts about my pair .
 The blades are very finely pattern welded; the sockets are plain steel forge welded to the blades . |

The sockets are highly unusual to my experience of oceanic SEAsian spears. It is possible they are a foreign influence, or is it possible these were made in India (or?) for the Mindinao market?
