Pic Request...TFW

Does anyone have any swords from Traditional Filipino Weapons?

I have found some YouTube clips but the pics available online are kinda crappy.

I was hoping to get some pics of spine thickness and handle work.

Pics of any of their blades would be much appreciated

Thanks!

I'm rather partial to blades from that part of the world my self. I'm a big fan of the barong
and have a few nice old ones as well as some not too bad new ones in the collection. :thumbup:

I realise this dosn't answer your specific question but these links have some fairly
good pics of the blades you're going to be interested in and pics are always nice

I think the OP is referring specifically to stuff sold by Tradition Filipino Weapons.

I have a few pics of mine, but none detailing the spine thicknesses or handles.

No apology necessary. One can never tell which capitalizations are intentional in some posts here.

I'll give ya the pics that I have (Edit - turns out I've got a closeup of the kris handle):

Kris #2

Panabas and Igorot Headhunting Axe #1

Thought I had more initially... I guess I just confused 'em with my fantasy wish list.

Ahh, right that one. It's a 19th century keris from Jogjakarta. Got it from Tosan Aji about 12-13 years ago. Bought it strictly cause it's purdy!
