Hand-Forged Traditional Visayan Sword
Tribal Carved Handle & Mahogany Scabbard
This hand-forged Visayan sword is crafted by indigenous bladesmiths in the southern Philippines using traditional methods passed down through generations. The blade features a classic Talibung-style like profile with a straight spine, subtle curvature, and a sharp, tapered point forged from durable high-carbon leaf spring steel.
The handle is carved from Filipino hardwood and shaped into an ergonomic pistol grip. Its pommel showcases tribal animal-inspired carving, giving the piece bold character and an authentic cultural aesthetic. Each carving is done entirely by hand, making every handle unique.
The scabbard is made from solid narra wood, fitted precisely to the blade and reinforced with traditional cord bindings. Its natural grain and warm finish complement the tribal craftsmanship of the handle.
