Pinahig - is a single-bladed bolo. it could be 'slender or a little stouter). But the prime characteristic of a pinahig is that the point of the blade (in comparison to a pehlet) is narrower. Most of the pinahigs that I have seen has the closed-type scabbards, but there maybe pinahigs having the the hikot type scabbards (open-faced).

Hello,

confirmed by my Cordilleran contact. They are pinahigs with a hikot (open-faced wooden sheath/scabbard).

Kind regards
