Salamat po sa tugon.
How about those traditional blades I've seen from Rizal province, particularly around Binangonan. They also have a similarly shaped profile, pointed and with wide belly, but is called "sungot hipon" (or interchangeably, ulang) instead. Is it the same profile with a different name, or am I missing some subtle differences?
