Sundang



Called a 'sundang', or long knife(?). It's a multipurpose knife used to cut down trees, tall grasses, kill an animal, chop the lechon or big-boned animals.. it's also used as a weapon, to kill another person when in a fight. Farmers go around with the sundang tied to their waist, kinda like a sword.



Closer look.

Cool subject of the day! =) It would be even better to post a photo of a farmer with the attached sundang on hip too. Next time na lang?
