Nice pics, and many thanks indeed, sir!

Technically speaking thus, would that mean then that that talibong has a combination of flat grind and convex grind, and it's not a chisel grind after all, as explained here? In any case, it looks like for some the convex grind is a cut above the rest.

Hi Miguel,

Maybe chisel grind is not quite the word we're looking for here .
The other (left) side of the blade is absolutely flat .
The bevel on this blade looks to be forged in rather than ground ; would you agree ?

Hello Rick,

Yes indeed, chisel grind is not quite the word. Thanks again ... and I owe you a hot drink

[Rick]

Thank you Miguel ; buttered Rum will do nicely .

So what do we call this edge then ?

Rick, buttered rum it shall be then

Hmm, I don't know what to call the edge. How about "right-handed half-convex forged blade"? But 'tis too long. I think you should be the one to name it because it's yours

[Rick]

C'mon now ... no one here's ever seen a Talibon blade like this ?!

Inconceivable !!

No suggestions still from anybody?

How about right inside-convex knife, or even shorter, right convex knife?

I think somehow that rings a bell

PS - Hello Rick, I think the honor is well deserved

Sorry Miguel, I hit edit instead of quote ....
