Thank you for your thoughts about this blade; I would call it sword instead of knife, the length is 24 inch, the blade is nearly 1/2 inch thick near the handle.
When I understand you correct it would be called matulis when it is a Tagalog blade. But wouldn't it be called different when it is a Ilocano or a Batangas sword?

Hi Detleff:
Batangas is a predominantly Tagalog province, so Tagalog is the dominant local dialect. Ilocano is a different language and I do not know the equivalent term there.
