federico,
yes the blade is hardened. this came from the collection of someone by the named of marcel gibrat, who was an art restorer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1957 to 1965. i don't if any of you are familiar with that name. btw, is MOP a dead giveaway for a mid 20th cent. filipino weapon? i'm not just talking about this gunong, but other weapons such as moro and visayan stuff as well. just curious...
