Argh, slip of the tongue... In the video I said three hundred by accident, but the price is indeed $239.95, as the video description says.
"Ginunting" literally means scissors or scissored lmao
I grew up in the Visayan region, and I know exactly what the "Ginunting" means. Visayan soldiers always have this one when deployed in Mindanao. Acording to the "retired" coffemates, a Moro opponent will not shoot the Ginunting bearer during firefight, they will wait for the opportunity to do the duel...it is crazy but they value their ancestors way. Btw, Moro's carry a " Kris".
Don't worry Skall, your not the only one who gets turned on by forward curved blades.
Funny how everyone always acted like Rurouni Kenshin was at a super disadvantage because he used a ginunting instead of a katana lol.
Handle is made out of kamagong. It's a dense and dark wood commonly used to make knife handles (surprise, surprise!) for particularly ornate knives. You won't usually find that wood on the handles of workhorses but that's a military knife.
"Ginunting" when translated literally means "Scissor'd" almost sounds like "C-Sword" xD quite fitting if you as me.

"Have you seen those warriors from Hammerfell? They have curved swords. Curved. Swords."
Someone was so blinded by Skalls awesomeness they accidentally hit the dislike button.
" Ginunting" is famous here in Panay, Western Visayas , Ph. It belongs of family of itak (binangon on our dialect) . Itak is commonly used for cutting woods and bamboo, but ginunting is used as weapon because of its light weight and handy form. Unlike binangon and benggawan ( kind of itak), ginunting has an unusual shape because the blade is located the other way around. At present,You can hardly see that thing since it is mostly used by mountain people.
This is amazing...I am a Filipino Warrior Arts student and I want to have one of that sword. Most of the Filipino swords are farm tools because of the spanish occupation...filipinos ate not allowed to own weapons. The handle of the Filipino swords design is because of the culture of ancient filipino tribes....I am still learning😂😂
"Official sword of the Filipino marines." Damn, imagine if all marines went around with swords as part of their kit!
Japanese anime: what if we make a peace loving samurai with a backwards katana?
I'm in that weird part of RUclips, again. The part where people talk about nuts, tips, tight holes, and wrapping your fingers around wood.
i own 1 ginunting from iloilo for P1200 only.. and its literally deadly blade.. when i go to vast jungles here i always carry my ginunting for training and test my bladr durability and cutting edge on banana trees and its so amazing
A note about the finger grooves on the scabbard: In Filipino martial arts, the scabbard of the sword is used to block and strike as well as the sword.
I've just finished seeing the testing of this, and then boom, magic Upload of the review
Hi I'm from the Philippines and I'm a subcriber of your channel.
