Overview
Everest Forge - Ginunting Sword
Please Note: It is common and standard for these handcrafted and hand-hammered swords to have to have wavy edges or blade spines, evidence of hammer blows and a higher degree of general asymmetry than what is our common standard. They are still functional and can cut well despite this asymmetry.
The Ginunting Sword from Everest Forge is a hand-forged blade recreating the famed deadliness of this iconic Filipino sword for collectors, cutting practitioners, and enthusiasts of historical edged weapons. Built with a strong, functional design rather than as a mere ornament, this sword delivers practical cutting power and the distinctive talon-like silhouette characteristic of the Ginunting. With a 21-inch blade, a total heft of 2 lbs 6 oz, and a point of balance around 4.75 inches from the guard, the sword provides a sturdy, well-balanced feel in hand, ideal for slicing, chopping, and brush clearing.
The blade is forged from robust high-carbon steel and tempered to provide a resilient, wear-resistant edge paired with a dependable spine for shock absorption and durability under heavy use. The blade’s shape — broad near the hilt with a subtle taper toward the point — delivers enough mass for forceful chops. Whether used for cutting practice, field work, or as a display piece, the geometry lends itself to strong chopping motions.
A full length tang runs through the handle and is riveted securely into a 4.75-inch hardwood grip, shaped to fit comfortably in the hand for control and stability. Its fully full-tang construction gives it a very tough overall construction. The balance and weight distribution allow for impactful and hard hitting strikes. Included is a thick leather sheath with stitched construction and a buttoned retention strap.

The Maker
Everest Forge
At Everest Forge, craftsmanship is not just a skill — it’s a tradition carried forward by generations of blacksmiths. Every sword, kukri , machete, or knife we produce is hand-forged with meticulous care, using age-old techniques that ensure strength, precision, and beauty. We don’t just shape steel — we forge legacy.
Our forging process begins with the soul of our blades — 5160 high carbon leaf spring steel. Revered for its durability, resilience, and edge retention, this steel allows us to produce blades that are tough enough for field use, yet elegant enough to be admired.
Each blade is shaped through fire, hammer, and muscle — not machines. Our smiths rely on intuition and experience, guided by heat and rhythm, to form every curve, taper, and bevel. This isn’t factory production. This is craftsmanship forged in fire. We operate as a Forging House , not a factory. That means every craftsman at Everest Forge is invested in the outcome of every single piece. It’s not about mass production — it’s about legacy, integrity, and honor in every blade.
Often paired together
Is a well built blade, very robust, edge was passable out of the box, but the weight is too heavy for FMA use, is more of a backyard brush cutter. Would be a five star if not for the weight.
