Just to add to the hilt here is a remount of a Japanese bayonet that has the same type of hilt and was attributed to the Phillipines

but what should we call it until we discover the true name for this wonderful sword? And why?

what about sonda? why you ask? coz that's the literal translation of the word 'bolo' in Bikolano.
