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. 

Here is a product description for the traditional Filipino machete from Everest Forge — the Ginunting Sword — written to match your requested tone and format:

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, solid handling, and the distinctive talon-like silhouette characteristic of Southeast Asian bladecraft. 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 smooth cutting performance while preserving enough mass for forceful chops. Whether used for cutting practice, field work, or as a display piece, the geometry lends itself to both precise cuts and 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 and lasting overall construction. The balance and weight distribution allow for controlled handling while maintaining enough presence and solid heft for impactful strikes. Included is a thick leather sheath with stitched construction and a buttoned retention strap.

Rooted in Filipino martial tradition — where the machete and the sword have long served as a tool, companion, and weapon — this Ginunting Sword captures the straightforward practicality and cultural heritage of its ancestors. Everest Forge’s craftsmanship ensures that this machete isn’t just a tribute: it’s a working blade ready for demanding tasks, training, or collection. For anyone drawn to functional traditional blades or Southeast Asian craftsmanship, this Ginunting Sword offers a solid, authentic, and effective addition to their arsenal.
