Hi Xas,

 Given that modern makers seem to allow for quite a bit of room regarding shapes and flow of lines, I'd be inclined to tag both as (modern) barung blades... Regards, Kai |

If you look closely, the blade profile is different than that of a fighting blade. The bottom one is used for utility That blade is called "manuk-manuk" or simply "sundang" among the Yakan. Very useful in the farm or jungle.
