yup...i have a "real" bali also...brass handles with some type of wood pinned in, the balde is a modified spear point with a sharpened false edge, no other marks except for a small "X" on each side of the blade...

p.s. I live in daly city, cal, home of the largest phillipine community in the U.S...we even have the only Filipino fast food chain, Jolly Bee,in the U.S...real bali's are still scarce...probably "underground"?
