Hi CCUAL,
The one you show in the case on the bottom rack is called a
gayang. It is a rare Moro blade form. AFAIK, the clippped section is always curved in the manner of the example you have shown. A stylized version of a
gayang can often be found on those tourist plaques showing The Weapons of Moroland.
In more than 30 years of collecting Philippine weapons, I have seen only three examples.
