I am a bit of a sporting guy, but filipino style uses a long shank which is kinda of brutal to me. Hispanic style short sharp blades .If there is a style of choice I would be like the southeast asian do. Just two bird mano-a-mano, straight up naked heel (no blades), shamo/ aseelsAnyone here into cockfighting? We use to have a lot of cockfighting enthusiast here in the Philippines, but as time goes by, seems like they don't do it any more.
