Personally, I have a modern Taiwanese "wakizashi" that is very, very ugly; my in-laws brought it as a present in an attempt to mollify me

I'll just show it to the intruder, say a magic word "Mother-in-Law!!!" and see him scurrying away in horror.
Simple.

lol.

Dha are beautiful and effective but, in tight confines, I'm going to grab a sure thing. The Barung is, in my opinion, the best sword for causing the most damage in unskilled hands.

In skilled hands...

Hmmm....I'd reach for my barung as well, but it's up on the wall in my office

!

Next to my bed I have my trusty Ilongo binangon and an Aklanon talibon...either one I can trust my life with.

But the first line of defense would be the pinute I keep in the umbrella stand next to the front door as well as a pair of kamagong and bahi arnis bastons that also reside in the umbrellas stand....and I do have a couple of umbrellas there as well
