Overview
Overview
The blade guard has a small round steel for firmer hold and mobility. The handle end has a unique hooked hilt grip design that serves as a counter weight for better handling and balance and to prevent the sword from slippage when pulling out when stuck in a target. The open type scabbard is made of kalantas wood, a type of Philippine mahogany which allows for quick drawing. The length is about 24-48 in.
