Thanks for posting!

Ok, adding some antique examples and starting out with a pinuti for comparison: Blade length 48 cm (19")

Hello Ray,

Here's an interesting type: Blade a bit over 31 cm (12.5"); nicely laminated, chisel edge.

Another example from an auction (blade 35 cm, 13.8"), chisel edge.

I'd place both well into the 19th century.

Regards,
Kai

Yup really interesting! I've only seen a handful of those, haven't really pinpointed where it originated from, highly likely Visayas area thereabouts.

I can add these both swords to the thread.

This one is massive, just a hair over 36 inches in length.

This is a sweet one, I've seen at least 4 iterations of this type so far. A talibong definitely, although some old-timers might even call it a pinuti.
