pinuti-style phillipino swords are cool. my somewhat less impressive 'villager' 'pinuti':
30.5in. LOA in scabbard, 21in. diff. hardened distal tapered forged carbon steel blade - 5mm thick at the grip x 1.125in. wide, (1 5/8 at it's widest near the back of the false edge). bevel on one side only, other is flat. 7in. plain wood grip, rattan bindings on scabbard & rattan bolster, no guard. blade stamped ?aNR (first letter faint & indistinct)
we do not get many of the phillipino sharp pointy things over here, darn it. they tend to be my favourites. get lots of more traditional british empire items to make up for it tho.
