Yet Another Philippine Sword

kronckew · 18th October 2007, 10:19 AM

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.

Hi kronckew,
I too love Filipino sharp pointy things! The one above is beveled on both sides of the blade with a 11" false edge. I really like the one you have too. If you get tired of it feel free to send it over as I will give it a good home.

Here are just a few more of mine. If there are any you want a better look at just tell me which one and I will post close-ups of it.

Nice collection - I even see some Tagalog and Ilocano pieces.

Lew,
This is my work room what my wife loving calls my junk room. I guess there is no accounting for taste. I hang my coat in the closet.

Jose,
Thank you. Here are a few more items.

Lew,
Can I come over to your house to play? The only problem is now I want to know what kind of goodies are hiding in the cabinet
