Filipino weaponry - pinuti (sword) bolo
Measurements
The most basic & widely used sword in the Philippines is the agricultural based bolo. Bolos were utilized extensively during the Katapinin Rebellion by "The Brotherhood" (also known as The Exalted & Most Honorable Society of the Sons of the People) during the Philippine Revolution of 1896 against Spain. There are many types of bolos, usually named after their most distinguishable characteristic. These modern recreations of traditional Filipino weapons are made in the Philippines from L6 high-carbon steel, and will stand up to rigorous training and use.
The pinuti sword was popular among the Visayan warriors of Cebu. One outstanding characteristic of the pinuti is that it is double edged, with the back edge sharpened from the tip most of the way down the spine. This pinuti comes with an intricate Abaca tree cord-wrapped wooden scabbard, and a cloth storage bag.
