We have just released our newest blade to our site.
Tactical Ginunting Sword
The Ginunting goes way back in history and to date is a favorite by the Philippines marines. They used this short and versatile weapon to win combats. Able to take away any body part it is aimed at. The downward curving blade makes it the perfect tool/weapon for close encounters as well as going through thick jungles of the Philippines. Useful for clearing brush, cutting wood and is a great slaughtering tool for hunting. The handle is extremely comfortable for use, making it the most versatile Filipino weapon ever! In English “ginunting” means “cut out”, which is exactly what it does. It will cut through anything and everything which is why the Filipino warriors chose them.
