This is quite an interesting sword / tool used by the Philippine Marines. The forward curved blade is very effective for percussive strikes and tip cuts. For these tests I cut tatami mats and water bottles, and chopped branches as well as as larger pieces of wood, to see how sturdy the construction is.

When you disagree with the Japanese about which side the blade is on

Its a common misconception that Filipinos have primitive weapons. Most people don't know that pre colonial Philippines have firearms and cannons

'The tip actually enters pretty far'

I don't know it this is relevant but "Gunting" in Filipino (Tagalog) means "Scissors" and "Ginunting" means "Cut by scissors" or more literally "Scissored".

As a person who trains in both Filipino and Indonesian martial arts, I have to say I find this video very enjoyable. It was both cringey, and hilarious, to see you use a traditional European sword fighting style with a Filipino weapon in a very good way. The information was delivered in a concise, practical, and enjoyable manner. You were very thorough in your testing and research, kudos to you. Keep up the good work!

Not my kind of sword, generally, but here I must make an exception! That is a serious blade.

Half-sword, half-axe, all Filipino. Also badass.

Let me shed a little bit of history, for those who do not know... The Ginunting that TFW sells in this video and the one by Top Prado blades is NOT a traditional historical ginunting. The one which you see here now is actually the MODERN Recon Marine modification to something traditional that is being used by the Filipino marines today. The Old Ginunting used by Filipinos to kill Spanish, Americans and Japanese troops during occupation and wars was the Visayan BINANGON which is a heavier, yet still forward curved blade like the ginunting seen here and is which is what the modern marine version was derived from by wacking and hacking it for hours and even days and modified to its highest possible functionality and effectiveness.

In the Philippines especially in rural areas you can see men carrying swords/knives like these on their hip. they mostly use it as a multipurpose tool as you described but it is sometimes used in drunken brawls to the death. an interesting but gruesome sight....

This is a common blade and tool still used by my family in the Philippines used in clearing brush, cutting coconuts open, chopping meat and chickens. Very useful in the field and in the kitchen.

when i was a kid i saw my grandparents using genunting to all purpose i never thought of the history of it. it was like the version of katana in japan.

even tho im filipino i dont even know my own country's weapons lmao

@gfhjkfghj4208 7 лет назад

In FMA you don't necessarily lead with the edge, it's more a whip-like motion that starts in the torso/shoulder, then the upper arm moves, then the elbow/forearm and lastly the wrist/hand/weapon. This way you generate more speed and hit harder, which is more important when using sticks/batons, but it also helps chopping off tatamis/limbs with blades ;)

@carsonjones528 7 лет назад

That was some impressive accuracy Skal. You made second cut on the double mat right on line with the first.

Hey Skall if you're interested in Filipino weapons I can definitely get you more info. Our Filipino martial arts club a few years ago made a rather comprehensive list of different Filipino weapons with a picture and a description of them.
