I read some interesting old threads, some of which hinted at there being a system of tribal distinguishment to do with straighter/more beaked cutting edge, shape of backspike, height and length of blade, but not the one I was looking for where someone actually kind of layed out at least their theory of it......

Don't forget that there were areas of overlap and adjacent territories had some mixing of tribes and styles from what I understand. I believe that this is infact mentioned in Jenks' The Bontoc Igorot.
