Nice sword Yves, and very good workmanship on the hilt and scabbard. Is the hilt mono steel or laminated? Can you provide the dimensions of the blade, please?

Hi Sir,

the blade (according to the bladesmith) is monosteel (leaf spring ). Water quenched.
the hilt: is made from bone, brass and balayong/barayong hardwood.
the scabbard's wood is also balayong/barayong.

27-inches: overall length
19.2 -inches blade

Note: the bladesmith comes from the Higaonon-Umayamnon tribe of Bukidnon

Regards

Yves
