h0ll0wman is correct. That's a sinuwak talibong, bakunawa hilt. This style is from Antique, most likely from northern towns like Culasi.

It looks closer to the traditional ginunting of Panay, which is not curved. In any case, within the Philippines alone, there are many blades that have similar profile like "sinampalok" of Tagalog and...

What's the story behind the connection between warding off evil and brass blades? I've also seen it among some Luzon blades, people would call it "kontra aswang".

Hello. All recent samples from Taal, Batangas. The long one is called "busese", apparently an old profile, balisong makes don't make it as often nowadays. Then there's also a "pen balisong" which is...

Interesting, Tagalog also has this term "tumbaga" in old dictionaries, referring to copper, can also be used for mix of gold and copper.

Sinampalok, but more slender than usual. Hilt and scabbard is also Rizal style.

I guess I agree on the hilt being rare, among recent samples, you will almost never see any pira that still has this type of hilt.

I'd be leaning towards Leyte. The scabbard itself bears great resemblance with the modern ones from Carigara. I haven't seen (so far) similar scabbards in other parts of Visayas.

If it's indeed...

Ilocano traditional blades are underrated. I've seen a ganado before, but kinda different from this, the one I saw had wider blade and the tip is rounder. Does it have variations?

I'm sorry, but can someone more knowledgeable explain to me what "Luzon matulis" really is?

Agree, it appears to be a minasbad. But I'm not sure if it's from Camarines Sur. The hilt looks similar to what I've seen from Albay, or probably another Bicol province.

At first look I thought it's from Palawan as well, mainly because of the rattan weaving. If it's indeed from Palawan, they call it badung.

I'll take a wild guess, probably a pinaniki? The "ears" give me the impression of either an inayam or a pinaniki, but if I remember correctly pinaniki had shorter, almost non-existent snout.

So, aside from binakoko, apparently Tagalogs and Hiligaynon-speaking Visayans also share kinabasi, though the Tagalog ones are usually shorter than this but the profile is more or less the same.

Interesting to see that the Tausug has a Tagalog-style hilt from Rizal, I've seen a similar hilt before by a certain blacksmith from Binangonan.
