Sorry, gang, let me just try to reframe this discussion so poor Carlos can have his answers
My first impression looking at the full profile and a bit of the fittings in the photos made me feel it is a bahari. By saying it's too long to be a bahari does not mean that I think Carlos' blade is an anak alang either.
Many Sumatran baharis display a 'tapering waist'. This is quite rare among anak alangs, on either side of the Malacca Straits.
Another thing that I missed is the fairly deep picitan on Carlos' blade.
So, please, I withdraw all remarks about baharis and anak alangs in this thread.
thanks.
