Ian,

we have in this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=bicol some concurrent statements from Zel, Lorenz (The PepperSkull), Migueldiaz and Bankaya (all native Philippines) that the there shown blades are from Bicol and also conccurent statements about the names for this blades. But agree with the sentence Zel write me by mail " I wouldn't get too hung up with the exact name of the blade type." When we don't have old written documents we can take the words from "students" who have done some deep research IMHO. I think that the named persons are very reliable.

Regards,
Detlef
