Terms of sale: PPGS only, USPS Priority Mail shipping only. Fees included in costs. No trades, and I may refuse to do business with anyone at my own discretion.
These are good examples of modern replica barong that are fully usable for combat, training, and utility. Both are made from spring steel and are razor sharp. Like, terrifyingly sharp. Both of these swords have never been used and taken out for training purposes only. No cutting, sharpening, or other wear. Perhaps some cosmetic scratches from storage and sheaths but nothing of note.
The first is the Visayan barong by TFW. This sword features a narrow blade with hollowed flats for weight and balance. Hardwood handle with metal collar and pinned tang. Hardwood sheath with rattan wrap. Only flaw is the rattan is a little loosely wrapped in one spot. Comes with camo sword bag.

The second is the Junggayan barong by BCI. This sword has a much wider blade and is heavier and more front weighted for chopping power. Hardwood handle with metal collars and pommel, and peened through tang. Wood sheath with rattan wrap. Zero issues. Comes with camo sword bag.

My cost was around $300 shipped for each one. The price is $125 each.
