zel shel
bagani salam lolz, the gathering was a day to remember, renewing old friendships, making new friends, interesting meeting some of the persons behind the keyboard. i'm more confused about some of the visayan blades but have a deeper respect now especially after the testcutting. |

he he. i guess so... themorningstar asked names of misfits not mentioned but ariel nailed it a recent conversation i have with a relative pointed out that the binangon i had (which i no longer have) is a bengaw-wan style, meaning it was made from a baranggay in visayas (not sure if it's in siquijor) known for its blade makers, and special charcoals were used. he identified it by the method that was used in wrapping the handle and blade surface. why was this thread resurrected? the only known photo i have of this binangon is pictured on the first post, lower left. i figure i'd share this. |
