...unless its a barung.
No need to reprimand, if you followed the thread for the most part posts were lighthearted. The irony from the beginning was posting photos and asking questions after outbidding the guys who likely had the answers. The answers were not straightforward but if you read closely they were answered.

It's the fault of the press, in Negros Oriental I have been told there are only 2 types of swords; Sundang (fighting) and Bolo (work). Now they make it confusing: "hacked him several times with a "pinuti (bolo)" over their personal grudges" http://www.visayandailystar.com/2005.../02/negor2.htm

Spunjer,
We saw the same swords in Negros this year, and guess what.....they had different names than those in the article......arrrggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought the one they called Binangon in Negros...the article calls it Binakuko....

Damn dialects!!!!
So, we're back to calling it a Bolo or Sundang.
