Filipino weaponry - espada y daga (sword and dagger)
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 espada y daga (sword and dagger pair) shows the influence of Spanish and Portuguese rapier and main gauche fighting styles in the Philippines. This pair comes with an intricate Abaca tree cord-wrapped wooden dual scabbard
and a traditional style storage bag.
