Hello Robert,

have a look to this old thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=binangon, post #11, here is what nacho has written:

Binangon is a generic term for any sword (as used in the Iloilo dialect). But people here (Philippines) generally use the term binangon to refer to any Ilonggo sword.

Thus, the "tenegre" can also be called a "binangon".

However, "tenegres" are a special type of "binangon" -- one that has the characteristic monster face.

Best regards,
Detlef
