Show us your "other" Visayan swords

Great high-end pieces and nice restorations, Jose! (I especially like the limited restoration of the garab hilt.)

Just a reminder so that we're not getting sidetracked: Ray asked for Visayan pieces other than garab/talibon, tenegre, and talibong.

Regards,
Kai

Another recent samples. A sansibar tinamban with an albino carabao horn hilt and a sansibar binatanggas with wooden hilt, both from Leyte province.

Not sure how many types of sansibar profiles are out there, but there's another one called "oyon", which is straight unlike the binatanggas and tinamban profiles.

Nice sansibars! There are a lot of sansibar profiles... sometimes it even varies per town

Referring to MUSKKAT’s Bautista’s collection, the closest blade profile that I found is a Ginunting. Is it an Ginunting? Unlike a chisel, the blade is sharpened on both sides.

Blade length 16.75 in. False edge 9.5 in.

Wow, that's really special, Albert!

What's the blade thickness?

Regards,
Kai

That's a really interesting blade sir.

I'm wondering if it's possible that this is a hybrid...blade from somewhere else (probably South PH or even beyond) then combined with a Panay or Negros hilt. The habaki might have helped connect the hilt to the blade.

Or it may just be an odd-edged Panay or Negros ensemble.
