Hello friends,

This lovely sword was made by a bladesmith from Mindoro.

OAL: 30.5 inches/ blade: 22 inches
scabbard: kamagong wood (Diospyros blancoi)- tiger variety.

Enjoy

Yves

So, aside from binakoko, apparently Tagalogs and Hiligaynon-speaking Visayans also share kinabasi, though the Tagalog ones are usually shorter than this but the profile is more or less the same.
