Rob, I think large-bladed knives, with or without guards, are still being made. I don't follow the present trends in Filipino knives very closely. There are facebook pages where these can be found. I don't follow them, but others here may have a link for you. Also, some of our members living in the Philippines are in a much better position to say what is made these days. I hope thy will join in here.
