Native Barong · 13¼″ Blade & Medallion Scabbard | 0019

A broad 13¼-inch leaf-shaped blade gives this hand-forged Filipino piece a substantial presence in a compact format. It weighs 1.46 lb without the scabbard, with a ¼-inch blade thickness near the handle. The warm wood scabbard features a raised medallion, a carved outline around the opening and an upturned, shaped tip. Dark cord wrapping and gold-colored fittings contrast with the wood hilt. Look closely at the medallion's surface detail and the grain around it: these are the features that give this numbered piece its individual character. Hand-forged using traditional methods in the southern Philippines, this full-tang piece comes from the Moro blade traditions of Mindanao.
