Hello friends,
A newly commissioned blade. A gift from a bladesmith from the Province of Rizal (who does most of out blade restorations). Before the pandemic struck, my father was invited to a local baptism in that area. And while having a good time with the bladesmith's relatives, stories of a supposedly 'pinalos' Rizal blade had existed(?) This is the modern rendition of that supposed to be blade profile. It looks almost the same as a binakuko-EXCEPT that the tip of the blade is shaped like a tail of an EEL (Palos in Tagalog-Pilipino). Hence, 'pinalos.' Enjoy Yves |

Hi Yves,
Very nice, recently made blade. I have a different blade style with a horse head hilt and a wooden scabbard that looks like it was made by the same person. Does your blade have a chisel-grind or V-grind to the edge? Ian. |

Hello,
Thank you. Chisel grind Sir. Right handed. The scabbard is made from kamagong (batik-batik variety-striped) and the hilt a combination of white albino and black carabao horn. All the best, Yves PS: This is a Rizal province buntot palos. There's another buntot palos blade profile from the Batangas(Taal) area. Im planning to have a newly made Batangas buntot palos so that I could share with the group. |
