A Pinahig machete of the Ifugao, of the Cordillera Mountain ranges of Central Northern Luzon, Philippines. The Pinahig alone weighs 2 lbs. The addition of the scabbard and smaller blade bring the set to just over 3 lbs.
The open-faced scabbard, or “hikot”, is made of Narra wood and also holds a smaller knife, identical in design to the larger Pinahig.
