My apologies for my unintended slur in the forum rules. Suffice to say, if anyone wants a knowledge resource for Minasbads, a good person to ask would be Prof. Jason Chancoco, a University professor in the Philippines who has devoted his life to reviving the antique Minasbad and other Bicol blade designs and tracing the vanished Cimarrones tribe. He would willingly share knowledge based on his thorough research with old traditional smiths in the region.
