Hi Rick, from a Taal/Batangas perspective, they called that 'kinampit' as per a 1917 reference. It's confusing because there's also a 'kinampit' blade profile in Panay, Visayas.
But from a modern Laguna perspective, they call that blade profile 'uhas tari.' The latter name (uhas tari) has different blade profiles depending on the area. But from what I've gathered, the profile originated from Bicol region.
