Robert, I have seen other blade forms but these looked very much like tools. I've seen a straight machete type of blade, as well as straight-sided choppers. In the link to the blog I gave below is a picture of recently made Apalit choppers that are quite different in form. Here is that picture. Notice how large the hilts are in the hands of this boy and girl. I have large hands, and these hilts more than accommodate my hand.
