More commonly known as "Binakuko" in other islands.
The most important bolo type manufactured by the Badiangan blacksmiths are - Binakuko for chopping wood;
- Sinuwak for carpentry and cutting shrubs and smaller trees;
- Ginunting having the same function as the Sinuwak;
- Pinuti for slicing meat;
- Tangkap for kitchen use;
- Linamay, Surot, and Balintawak are used in gardening;
- Kayog is used to harvest rice; and
- Wasay used to chop lumber and bigger trees.
Bolos are made by hand with blades made from recycled steel.
