The Barong is common throughout all of Southeast Asia. Often used as an
agricultural tool, it is also known as a savagely effective implement of
warfare. A popular blade style within the Filipino martial arts, the Barong
has a fearsome reputation for inflicting massive wounds and deep slashing
cuts. The Barong also makes an excellent bushcraft tool. Cleaving vines and
branches with ease. Its classically shaped down-turned polypropylene handle
anchors the blade in the hand and helps to resist centrifugal forces when
making a hard chopping or slashing strokes. Its beautifully curved 18″ leaf
shaped blade is made from 1055 Carbon Steel with a baked on, matte black
finish to aid in rust resistance and each Barong comes complete with a Cor-Ex
