Visayan "pinuti"

Im with Rick and Ian, when I hear the word Bonifacio bolo, that is the style I think of. In modern terms, the vast majority of those Luzon "Negrito" bolo would fit with the Bonifacio style. Though along with what Spunjer is saying, I remember my dad telling me while this style is sold as the "Bonifacio" the actual bolo Bonifacio used was just a plain old bolo/itak. On a side note, my father used to tell me that the bolo his Waray Grandfather used for arnis, and called a sundang, was similar in blade shape to the "Bonifacio" style, just to throw some more confusion to the mix.
