SOLD
TFW (Traditional Filipino Weapons) Ginunting - new
The Ginunting steel is a blend of 5160 with a D2 and treated with a sodium nitrate tempered to 58 to 60 hardness scale. That is close to the hardest you can get any steel. It is the same hardness as an original Japanese Katana. These Swords can easily chop off cow's head in one stroke! The knives can easily go through a car door. No one has this quality in craftsmanship and durability here in the US for Filipino blades! Unlike the many you see sold in martial art, gun or blade magazines, which are stamped out and sharpened then polished, you will never find anything like it with both, this kind of craftsmanship along with such high quality steel. Also take note that these blades are NOT made with the handle glued or screwed on! Each blade, from the beginning to the end, is one solid piece with a full tang in the shape of the handle! They are all individually hand made by a tribe in the Philippines the same way these expert blacksmiths have been making them for centuries.
specs:
Blade Length:20"
Overall Length: 26.50"
Top edge: 3"
Handle material: Gijo Ironwood
The sheath for the Traditional Filipino Weapons Ginunting is individually hand crafted and fitted from Red Pine wood which is light, flexible, and adapts to climate changes so that the sheath fits the blade for a lifetime!
