A long fuller draws the eye along this hand-forged Laring's 18¾-inch blade, emphasizing its curve and angular tip. Measuring 26 inches overall and weighing 1.88 lb without the scabbard, it brings a long, distinctive profile to a Filipino blade collection.
Dense floral and scroll carving covers the dark wood scabbard and continues into the sculpted hilt. Cord wrapping and bright metal bands frame the grip. The extended blade and extensive woodwork offer plenty to study, whether your interest begins with blade forms or decorative craftsmanship.
Hand-forged using traditional methods in the southern Philippines, this full-tang Laring reflects the Moro blade traditions of Mindanao.
