Default BALARAW/BALARAO BADAW
Hello,

Sharing a newly-commissioned balaraw (balarao/ badaw) knife.

Made by a bladesmith from Mindoro.

OAL: 16.5 inches/ blade: 8 inches

Scabbard (and hilt): narra hardwood. The scabbard has 3 semi-precious stones:
black onyx, tiger's eye and cat's eye

Enjoy

A very close facsimile of the Mandayan knife.
