Ifugao hinalung. Ifugao are of the Igorot group, northern Luzon.

A Pinahig machete of the Ifugao, of the Cordillera Mountain ranges of Central Northern Luzon, Philippines. The Pinahig alone weighs 2 lbs. The addition of the scabbard and smaller blade bring the set to just over 3 lbs.
The open-faced scabbard, or “hikot”, is made of Narra wood and also holds a smaller knife, identical in design to the larger Pinahig.

Recycling an accidental double post with some more open faced content. This one was discussed on another thread on Achang Dha. It was suggested to be Achang made in Husa but exported.
