how local blades look (zamboanga edition)

[zamboanga]

Taken during a trip to the local market (tiangge in chavacano).

a mixture of sangguts - the ones shaped like a question mark (known as tabas elsewhere), bangkung (agri type), many bolos.

in the mix, there were plain jane barongs, bekoko piras (for home use piras), a lapu-lapu type pira, a locally made katana.

i have a theory on the bangkung but i'll post it next time. have to go now.
