Talibon

Not a Binangon wrong hilt style, Talibong yes (a general description of a fighting sword from this area) but not a talibon as misstated in the original title, Tenegre possible because of the figural hilt. This is what I love and hate about philippine edged weapons, from what I understand an item such as the one being discussed can have many names (all correct) depending on where you are when you ask.

Best,
Robert
