Mat Maresch Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) Hello again. This sword was a customers order. It is a Ginunting, a sword widely spread in the philipines. Forged from springsteel, mounts are copper and steel, handle is ebony. Overall length about 25 inch. Thanks for looking, Mat Edit: resized the pics Edited August 2, 2007 by Mat Maresch www.mareschmesser.de Knifemaker, Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 VERY nice, hard blade shape and hilt to do but you pulled it off very nicely! Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan pfanenstiel Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hey! That looks familiar! My Quinungting Those are a PITA to make, ask me how I know. Keeping those blades straight and curved in the right places was a job in itself. Nice work. Dan Dan Pfanenstiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Looks pretty cool! I seen something like that on the a tv show where 2 guys go around training in all different martial art styles and such. A military group in the philipines use something almost identical to the one you made. Just plain VICIOUS!! I like it a lot!! Thanks for showing it. Who; me?

Adlai Stein Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Matt, That is really nicely done. Those are a PITA to make and to pronounce. I made one that was about 1/2 that size and didn't quite come out the way I would have liked. Adlai Klatu Baratta Necktie! Macabee Knives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
