As a Filipino who does not own one I'm jealous you own it. (The last one I know of/have seen was given to my cousin's husband). It's tradition that it passes from father to son/son in law. Once you're married off it becomes your responsibility to protect and you're passed one of these down from father to son.

That's such a cool tradition! Makes me wish I had found something like it when I visited a few years ago, for my dad. Though, I did get a custom, left-handed machete made while I was there and bring it back for him. They're proud of their blades over there! I had to take it out of my bag to fly, but everyone was just appreciative that I was bringing a machete home.

Question on barong hilt, Is it full tang , metal all the way even curved part, or half tang with the curved part just wood, or new models just plastic.

The noise.. when it came outta the sheath...🤤

I need a brother like yours 🙂

A Tausug work of Art indeed.

Pls take care of it, as Barong is part of my heritage and history.

True Decapitator and Delimber for Combat ⚔️

Thats an Old style Hilt . Tausug people dont do that intricate wire bind anymore. They can still do that type of Pommel tho. The descendants I think forgot how to . I have 2 Barongs myself and a few Moro Weapons. Not as old as that Barong. Check out SULU PAKUKUS KZread page for modern Barongs that look like that as well.

They still make them in the back country of the Philippines. Have one that was given to me few years back after one of his deployments.

Beautiful sound when you unsheath it. 😅

Ohhh, that sounded great 👍

Wow. That thing is absolutely beautiful

You should see the one I aquires hand. Carved as a victory sword from WW2 in the Philippines..If interested in taking a look lmk it's it gorgeously hand carved scabbard...must see

Beautiful barong my friend

That is a beautiful work of art, you are very lucky sir, I'm jealous.

The tausog people of the philippines made this type of weapon intended to cut through a whole human body. It is even capable of cutting through a garand rifle barrel.

Absolutely beautiful!

Awesome swords looks brutal weapon's

Such a precious knife specially Moros muslim in the south. Its a tradition sword knife bearing the family name representing the head of the family and for protection and kurbani for Eid festival . Just make frame on it and stand for your display. Thanks . Salaam . ❤

I thought it was a garden hose in the thumbnail. Really cool though.

Wow. That's a nice barong. With history to boot. Nice.

That thing looks brutal! What a great gift for a collector! Post a vid when it's touched up!

Sheesh. You are lucky. Better buy a good polish to buff it back to mirror finish. The better you take care of it the more luck comes into your life. Old blades have a protective spirit. It grows stronger by taking care of it. If you want it super strong - you might have to do some prayers.

Growing up in Hawaii we have access to tons of those and theys AWESOME 🔪🌺🤙🏼

That's bleed has already his story 😮

I just got one from my grandfather for Christmas that looks similar to that I plan on restoring it and mounting it

It's amazing

Beautiful barong

DAAAAANNNNNNGGGG 🔥😍

Nice!

Bro my brother doesn’t get me anything for me, the most he got me was five dollars and said “here go walk to that restaurant down the street and buy you a meal or something, I don’t know just figure it out yourself”

Wow that's very nice bro I never seen that before in my life 😢

That's not a knife. This is a knife!

Beutiful "sound" of steel as well

I like it. As well as a gift it looks like a blade made to doits job.

That would got so well in my man cave Love your videos all the way from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Can't wait to see it restored.

OMG what a barong!

And grit channel. I try to never miss a video. Thanks.👍🏻

Tausog sword in Philippines

Beautiful... Now that's a present...

my grandfather brought one of these back

Barong and Kris is the mean weapon of our Moro brothers during Spanish invasion , America, and Japanese invasion, for me even Ghurka cannot eve close to the courage and bravery of our Muslim Brothers

The top of the scabbard is beautifully decorated.

Nice barong..your bro loves u

Damn that’s beautiful

Jeez im so jealous im a filipino a pure blood proud to be waray one of big clan of northern samar Even im not a moro as a waraynon i love blades i envy of those people who had that kind of heirloom blade's im just a new subscriber i hope my grammar are understable i dont have confidence to speak and write english godbless you brother

Looks like a remake still very cool

Once got my little brother throwing knives for Christmas. He was 10. 😂 imagine if I got him something like this 😅😮

Very interesting blade shape.

That's one of the most expensive blades in the Phils.

Beautiful!!

The one and only Originally teibal bolo in the phil..

Yes sir got to sharpen up that blade.

I am Filipino and to get Filipino swords and rare and expensive

Wow Cool!

My family has 2 of those my grandfather brought back from WWI. I was always wondering where he got it at....now I know.

Thats barong kastel

THIS, the "barong" blade, is actually the true battlefield work horse, moreso than the wavy "kris" or long "kampilan".

American kids? How do you know it wasn't damaged in combat? Maybe just return it the place it came from.

Well considering how much more hate the American occupiers it wouldn't be a surprise that blade probably tasted a lot of blood

Awesomeee

I love the sound but

Some time ago my boss, who was an American, liked to shop for antiques in my country. One day he asked me why I wasn't buying antiques, whereupon I said that I didn't need to buy culture. As a result he didn't speak to me for several months, which was fine for me. I didn't care.

Sulu's finest blade with the kalis seko

Those spots like stain or rust, those are actually blood stained

I've seen dozens and restored many over the years, that one has potential one of the longer ones I've seen, blade should be cleaned up properly, handle is very interesting wish I could look at it up close, don't do much more than clean up the handle with a toothbrush, it's a pretty one, cherish it.

I have a brong sword that the one your talking about that has nothing on the one I got

Sulu pakukus still make this barong here in jolo sulu

nice tausog barung

Here's a good Piece of information for most of you Most swords as far as longswords go this one I'm not gonna throw in the group We're only really sharp for the 1st 6" of the tip the rest of it was like a medium sharpness Not super sharp you could Actually grab ahold of the blade and not cut yourself

Nice blade. Probably hacked off more than a few heads.

Question, is it rusty because of water? Or is it rusty because of blood?

Aren’t you the guy who does those dances with the kids and his ex wife?

Yep sold to American tourist Gil’s.

how many heads had it decapitated?

Nice sexy blade you've got there bro.

Blood rust
