Ah yes one of the legendary curios in this forum. I've seen it before and it's one heck of a hybrid!

Handling-wise though- how do you find your talibongs? Which one do you like best in terms of balance? Are some too heavy or too light? Which one is your personal favorite?

Handling wise? they're all balanced. but if i have to pick a translator from stick to blade, i would go with this bad boy. it's light, and still sharp after all these years

That's great! Yep it looks light and nimble. What strikes me is that the Panay talibongs, in general, seem well suited for eskrima. Then a friend reminded me of the wealth of eskrima systems originating from Panay, and it makes sense

Thank you everybody for showing your great examples of tenegre and binangons, like said, great examples!

Here my collection of Visayan tenegre and binangons, three examples I can't show for the moment since they are in the States for restoration. Sorry for the bad lighting, it's not the best light condition in the moment in Germany.
