I am seeing a lot of similarities in design with these other blades mentioned in comparison to mine, but there seems to always be two comparative differences as well...1.) The other blades seem to curve upward or, in the Visayan case, modestly downward. 2.) None of the blades mentioned really matches the elongated chiseled ricasso, though they may be similar.

The Moro blade I have pictured is practically straight across the top, including the ricasso.

I have noted recently that Moro piras may also have that elongated ricasso.
