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

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. |

First thank you for the compliment! The middle sword has a guard from black horn and it's oval. Judging from the patination I belive that it's the original guard or at last a very old replacement. Do you have a guess from where this sword coming exact? Here is the original thread where I have shown it first: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=minasbad Regards, Detlef |

Beautiful items, everyone!
Here is my recently acquired example. A few questions: - The pommels on these seem to share a similar convention. What/who are they intended to represent? - On my example below, I guessed from the condition of the leather, and comparing to WWI and WWII leather I have on bayonet sheaths, that this might date from the 1940s, or so. Thoughts on this assessment? - The edge is beveled only on the one side. This seems to be similar to the other examples on this thread. Is this always the case, or is it indicative age and/or locale? As always, thanks for the information, and apologies if these questions have already been addressed earlier in the thread. |

1. The figural hilts represent various deities that can be found in the old, animist religion that was already present before the Philippines was colonized. Certain deities may be indicative of a specific location in Panay Island wherein a particular blade originated. For example, wooden scabbards with the "J" shape plus figural hilts with very long horns are indicative of Aklan. Deities with oblong, horn-less faces with brass accents on the hilt and scabbard have been attributed to Iloilo. And so on and so forth. 2. I'm not good at estimating age, but I think 1940s would be just about right. 3. Visayan blades are usually chisel grind (beveled at one side) even up to now. |

Does this qualify as being from Panay.

Just noticed that I don't answer your question correctly! What you see are something like bullen-nails, a few are new since I have added lost ones. If they are born with the sword I can't say but the present ones when I received the sword had been fairly old. Regards, Detlef |
