Hello,
My father's Cristmas gift. A newly commissioned lambitan sword/bolo from Bukidnon, Mindanao. The blade has brass inlays. Brass decor (shield) on its scabbard. Handguard: engravings. Hilt/pommel: traditional 'bakunawa', with a combination of 'bone' brass. A high end piece (so the bladesmith told us). Enjoy Yves |

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 |

I remember seeing a neat lambitan with beautiful scabbard similar to this that was posted by "Salsalan ta Malaybalay", I wonder if this is the one I saw.
Anyway, very nice catch ![]() |

Hello,
If you're referring to the posted picture of blades by Salsalan, yes, it's actually the 2nd lambitan (from the right). Yves |
