BINUAYA/BINUWAYA MAGUINDANAO

[Ian]

Some further pictures from the Archives here, of various sizes, age and quality. I still have the top one, which is sharpened along the curve of the back edge also. The othr two are owned by other members of this Forum and I think are also sharpened on the back edge.

Hi,

No. It is not associated with the headhunting tribe Iban(sea dayaks) of Borneo nor associated with the Iranun.

It's a term which simply describe the type of blade (binuaya) in the Maguindanaon dialect.

Note: lovely panabas pics!

Saludos,
