The blade profile was documented and illustrated by Atienza (1917) in his thesis on Taal blades. It was also produced in several CALABARZON areas, but currently not being made anymore; it has been replaced by "dahong buho/buo" another entry in the leaf series of blades.
The bolo version is different than the palay. To my knowledge those are the three distinct versions: palay, bolo, buho/buo.
