Would these type be considered battlefield weapons.
They’re nice to look at, I would like to have one but in my opinion not as intimidating as the other BangsaMoro edged weapons.

Hi sir, that one is used for gardening.

Although as a Tausug friend said... It's still an object of opportunity with an edge...

Thanks.
I would not have ever thought of that. Some of these are constructed elaborately. Too nice just for field work. Perhaps it's a testament to the Pandays skill.

But it makes a forminable tool. Vines, twigs and branches would be shaking like a leaf in its presence

I totally agree.

I'm in the camp that these are primarily status symbols, whatever they are used for. They definitely would not be my first choice for a weapon, but in a pinch they'll do.
