Finally, after searching months and trying to figure out how I can get another good quality modern day Philippine sword, the wait is over.

Very cool Dimasalang. Beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing. While I know some turn their noses up at modern made ethnographic blades...I'm a fan if they are true to form and good quality, which 99% of the time is not what you find in modern made pieces.

Thanks yall.
![]() Nathaniel, I know what you mean. I typically will stay far away from anything modern day Philippine sword. But this is I would say is as good as they get as of now. Most blacksmiths of the Philippines can not even come close to the quality of the early 1900s swords. The chiseled edge isn't all too sharp Ron. So I'll be using this one. ![]() |

I think it looks fantastic!
Also, it looks completely at home when being used by the two Marines! They look like VERY serious customers!!! I had one thought. I wondered if even a limited military application has necessitated using a more practical scabbard (webbing or leather)? Then I noticed that they seem to have them slung across their backs? Very interesting! |

I'm not sure, I'd want to have finger grooves along the "business side" of any scabbard... ![]() ![]() Regards, Kai |
