it's my understanding that the Spanish went thru a phase when they prohibited pointy blades & actually snapped the tips off natives blades when they caught them.

Wayne,

I don't know how widespread that was. In any case, that is not what happened here. These are Spanish-issued bolos of a recognized pattern that come with the blade as shown.
