Authentic Ethnic tribal Philippine Ifugao Pinahig bolo machete.
A real heavy weight chopper made in the province near famous Banaue rice terraces on the island of Luzon (Infos on Vikingsword : http://www.vikingsword.com/ethsword/ifugao/index.html).
This machete has been completely forged by hand in the mountains of the Ifugao region. Such villagers tools have an outstanding quality and aside from decorative value, they have a very high usability. Blade and handle are the same piece of metal, which makes it impossible to break the handle off. Included for most blades is a wooden scabbard that can be attached to the belt. The locals call these blades 'Bolo', some of them “Hinalong” or “Pinahig”.
Price : $250 $200 + shipping (no trade).
****************************************
My rules :
Asking price does not include shipping or insurance due to size, weight, destination, and amount insured for but feel free to email me for shipping quotes and include your complete mailing address at stefcanadian@yahoo.ca.
Payment is Paypal ONLY (Add 3% for paypal). Insurance is extra.
I'm not interested in any trades at this time.
If you want to buy something you must be ready to pay fast (I will not wait 24hours if someone is ready to pay ne already). So I reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone without any explanation at all.
USA and Canada have priority, but I am willing to ship to different countries as long as you take the risk and pay additional for shipping. I am not responsible for international shipments even though I have never had any problems. Check my feedback.
Thank you.
