ND-The Visayan has an 18"+ blade, so it's a big one.Nice M43! Is that a deep fuller where the sword of shiva is supposed to be? That is sweet! and that Barong...Wow. I need to get me one of them modern ones. Yowwwie!
Tell me thats a 15" M43 please. Otherwise that Barong is a monster.

18" blade or 18" overall length?
That's 18" blade, 25" OAL. The Visayan Barong is a very impressive blade and I've been meaning to get one from TFW, but it's not top of my list. I'd rather spend my money on blades from Nepal, to help with earthquake relief.
Yes, the Visayan Barong is 25" overall so it feels more like a short sword to me.
Impressive blade. I may get their Moro Barong later.
