These are all made by Blade Culture International (BCI) from 5160 spring steel with one-piece macassar ebony handles and brass fittings. The sheaths are an unspecified Filipino hardwood, with blackened spring steel clips for retention and brass pins to prevent splitting and cracking.
From top to bottom:
Imbudo Laoc
Alpanghe
Pinuti
They are all about 28" long overall (one of the standard escrima stick sizes) with 21" blades. The cutting edge bevels are around 19" long each. The Imbudo Laoc and Alpanghe have ornate brass nuts on the threaded tangs. The Pinuti has a flat brass nut fitting into the handle. These are all handmade and have some surface blemishes and imperfections. They also have some minor scratches and scuffs from the sheaths. None of them have been used, however, and they are razor sharp and ready to go.
I paid $315 each for these, shipped from Blade Culture USA's headquarters in New England. I will sell each one for $200 shipped, paypal fee included, inside the US. International buyers must pay shipping at cost and must inquire for arrangements.
