Well, one out of three is... BAD....

I have made a fool of myself.
BUT, it was for the benefit of the Newbies, , just to show them not to be afraid!!
(that's my ego-saving mechanism speaking)

LOL!!! YES THATS THE WAY IT GOES SOMETIMES

I OFTEN STICK MY NECK OUT ON SUBJECTS I AM NOT VERY KNOWLEGABLE IN ESPECIALLY IF A POST IS GOING UNANSWERED. THINGS CHANGE ALL TOO OFTEN

I USED TO HAVE SEVERAL NAMES FOR DAYAK SWORDS BUT IT GOT TOO CONFUSING AS TO WHAT WAS WHAT AND WHY SO NOW I CALL THEM ALL DAYAK SWORDS AGAIN. THAT IS ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT USING ALL CAPS NO ONE TAKES ME TOO SERIOUSLY

On far too many occasions I have asked our Moro gang to define to me (us?)
the confusing varieties of Moro/Visayan swords. They throw all those "binangon, "pinute" and who only knows what other monikers around and I sit in front of the screed feeling like a dummy (deservedly, probably...)
Guys, for the love of God, I have written haikus for you, so do me a favor:

Somebody, please show pics of different varieties and explain what defines them as such!

I came upon this old thread and noticed that the request for images went unanswered so I thought I might provide this delayed reply.

Assuming that they appear in the order that I will post them they are:

A single blade Indian bichwa loop dagger
A double blade Indian bichwa loop dagger
African loop dagger from the Tiv people
A comparison of the Tiv loop and Indian bichwa
A couple pictures of a Indian Bagh Nakh (tiger claws), sometimes use with a bichwa
A Haladie, an Indian palm dagger with multiple blades

for good measure:
A Chillanum a recurved Indian dagger usually of all metal construction
A Khanjarli, a recurved Indian dagger usually with a ivory handle and large pommel

Marcus, thank you so much for taking the initiative to add these images. We rely a great deal on the huge volume of data stored in these archived threads and it is so frustrating when photos not properly added are lost.
I am always very grateful when members are pro active in reviving old threads with new data and images so the research and learning continues!
