The official sword of the Philippine Marines, the downward-curved Ginunting can not only decisively chop and shear with its scythe-like blade, but its beak-like tip can be used like a pick, delivering a piercing wound that can strike with more force than a standard stabbing motion. Although well suited for fighting, the Ginunting is an excellent tool for clearing brush and light camp duties. It is easy to see why the Philippine Marines carry such a blade with them into the jungle.

This Philippine-crafted Pinute has a sharp blade of 5160/D2 high carbon steel tempered to HRC 58-60. A simple guard and ferrule of darkened steel separate blade from grip. The grip is of carved wood with a brass nut on the pommel. A carved wooden scabbard with a blade-retaining clip is included. The metal clip locks the blade in place by going over the lip of the guard. It can be released by a good tug on the grip.

Please Note: Due to being crafted in a tropical environment with native woods, it is common for these weapons to develop thin, minor cracks in the wood and the scabbard as the woods adjust to our more temperate environment. Cracks in items sent to you will not be harmful to the structural integrity of the item. Also – The decorative rattan wrapping can be brittle and may crack or break.

It is recommended that a light coating of protective oil is used to protect the wood from dryness and cracking.

    TWP Ginungting This is the Filipino Marine version of a K-Bar, it’s both a tool and a potent weapon. A truly incredible sword that is quick in the hand and razor sharp. I was awe struck by the build and material quality of this weapon (the photos above don’t do it justice). Like a moron I used it for cutting low brush and slammed the point into solid rock, not once but twice. The tip was only slightly dulled and I took it to a professional knife sharpener for repair; he was very impressed with the quality of the steel and beautiful hard wood handle. This is a tool that will last a lifetime, truly awsome.

    The Ginunting The Ginunting’s definitely 1 of my favorite swords in my collection. It’s light, sharp, and effective. However, the blade’s a little bit unique in shape, so certain angles feel more natural than others when you swing it. However, if you’re like me, and you can use your eyes to effectively pick up on movements, then go to You Tube, and watch some of the videos of genuine Kali practitioners using it. Being a musician that played in several local bands, I got accustomed to using my ears, and eyes to learn the chord progression we were using it. So I’m good at doing those type of things. If you’re not, there are plenty of videos, with people teaching you the basics, and some people will purposely demonstrate it slowly, so you can pick up on it. As for the sharpness of the blade, both of my TFW swords came to me sharp. They could be sharpened a little more, but they’re sharpen enough as is.
