the blade reminds me of the ginunting (not mine),



a superb chopper used by the Philippine Marines. they have resorted to them a number of times in the jungles when ambushed by or ambushing the muslim seperatists. instances supposedly where the target of the blade was cut in half. more used for chopping thru the jungle foliage tho.

a more mundain version (mine) that shows the upper edge better.
