It seems to me that Levine (1985) always considered these 'Central American' dirks, but given the scope of the 'Spanish Main' it seems open to many regional possibilities. The many forms of Spanish colonial edged weapons we have discussed here over the years seem to have numerous possible locations of use given the diffusion over these routes.
