Ginunting?
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 |

Hello Kai, nearest the habaki, for lack of a better term, is 0.25 in.

Albert I saw one like this but in dagger size with a hilt of ivory on eBay years ago. Couldn't get it. Your example is very helpful.

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. Last edited by xasterix; 30th January 2023 at 01:36 PM. |
