If I may add a rejoinder- any thoughts regarding the varying belly width of talibongs? Which do you think are the older variants- thin ones or the thick ones? Or they coexisted at the same time period?

Thanks for buying from a Filipino artisan sir. The Silvas are still smithing blades nowadays

Personally I think they coexisted at the same time period!
