Thanks for the comment
Yes, as I understand it was mandated also by Spain then in the Phils. that pointed bolos are not allowed.
And that's why we have bolos like the one below I 'inherited'
from Fernando. [Fernando, that's a really very nice Visayan blade. Thanks again!]
But as to how effective that law was, even a casual survey of
various Philippine swords will tell one that it wasn't quite followed.
