But I can say I might prefer the shorter back edge. It's less likely to cut your opposite arm/shoulder when chambering. No, I’m not going to sell mine.

I recently purchased a ginunting from TFW and they did a running change that included a shortening of the bask edge to only three inches. I'd much rather have one with a longer back edge. lemme know! Thanks! Would you be willing to sell me this one?

Very good to know since a lot of them are 5 to 6 inches from the top of the handle, which is fine in the beginning but gets tiring in the end and would be unrealistic to use. ah, that’s my ideal weight for a phillippine blade!.

The blade is thick, solid, and heavy, but not TOO heavy. It's long, but not too long...perfect length for me. The balance is terrific. The forward curve of the blade is such that it really cuts into what ever you slash. I like my other swords for different reasons, but this Ginunting has the perfect balance of all aspects for me. @Oliver: It’s a combination of things, from the thickness of the blade to the weight, length, handle, curve, and style.
