Hello Lorenz , and thank you for taking a look at this and for your opinion. If you would, could you please post what you find on the sinampalok (whether this turns out to be an example of one or not) here on the forum? I tried a search on the internet using "sinampalok" and did find some pictures but none were clear enough to make any kind of positive identification.

Hello Rick, The top one could very possibly be from Bicol, especially with the file work at the base of the blade. It reminds me of the file work that you see on alot of the minasbads in this same area of the blade.

The blade is kind of crudely made; laminated, lots of forging flaws and pretty thin in cross section ... say 3/16th spine thickness tops .
What an edge though !  Those are all Span Am bringbacks w/provenance; they belong to another member now . |
