Two Philippines blades with similar profiles - “Sinuwak”?

I agree with Xasterix. You will find that names vary from place to place, even on a single island. I would have referred to these as tenegre as well, but i believe Xasterix is correct that the name "sinuwak" refers to the blade profile as named specifically in the Iloilo Province. It's possible you will find other names for this same profile elsewhere. And you will find that not all tenegre use this clip point profile. But i believe it would also be correct to refer to your newer blade as a tenegre.
I have one example of this style tenegre, produced at the end of WWII to commemorate the victory. Despite it's commemorative intention it is a fearsome fighter.
