The Ginunting: Forged for Battle, Honed by Tradition
Born from the fighting heritage of the Philippines, the Ginunting is more than a blade, it’s a weapon built for warriors. Hand-forged from high-carbon steel, its sharpened edge delivers precision. The handle, carved from dense Madre de Cacao (Gliricidia) Handle & Scabbard, provides unmatched strength and grip, even in the harshest conditions.
Both the handle and scabbard are carved from Madre de Cacao, a trusted Filipino hardwood known for its rich reddish-brown color, smooth grain, and excellent carveability. The handle features a traditional Visayan sculpted pommel and an ergonomic flow that locks securely into the hand.
The matching scabbard mirrors the blade’s curvature and includes metal belt-clip hardware for practical carry.
This is the blade trusted by the elite martial arts practitioner for the real-world. Agile, balanced, and efficient, the Ginunting is a true extension of the fighter’s hand.
Proudly handmade in the Southern Philippines.
