Its because it has a rounded clip point. Its there, but because it is somewhat rounded that is why it is throwing you off.

As for Bob's book, I can assure you 100% it is a standard barong blade. Play around with picture angles and barongs, and you can sometimes get some interesting results.

Mabuti naman salamat po si Spunger.

Philippines was geat, as usual, but only a couple of days. Did see our friend Dan Wilke in Manila, and he made some excellent purchases which I hope he will share with us shortly.

Did not see any shandigan weapons, though there were a couple of nice old kampilan -- Dan snagged a good one.
