Nonoy Tan: this is a very valuable information indeed, thank you for sharing.
And you are right, it is a lethal weapon

I haven't shown enough respect to it while cleaning and was immediately punished with a clean cut, although there were two layers of thick paper between my hand and the blade - the blade is really razor sharp! And I do not remember being cut with a blade for at least last several years

So Nonoy Tan, this style of spearhead is Ifugao and not a general type of spear used but all Igorot groups?
