Banayal Sword – 18-Inch Traditional Filipino Parang Machete

The Banayal Sword is a powerful working blade inspired by traditional Filipino parang-cleaver hybrids, historically used across the southern Philippines for both utility and combat. This version is hand-forged in Nepal by master smiths, combining traditional island design with the durability and edge retention of high-carbon 5160 spring steel.

Characterized by its long, straight cutting edge and thick spine, the Banayal is built for chopping wood, clearing brush, cutting bone, and heavy-duty field use. Its polished blade offers clean cutting performance while retaining the toughness and weight-forward balance typical of Filipino swords. The full-tang construction adds strength, while the 6-inch rosewood handle is ergonomically shaped for firm, extended use.

Whether used for utility tasks, martial arts, or jungle survival, the Banayal Sword is a real working blade—sharpened and ready for action. Comes complete with a handcrafted leather scabbard for secure carry and storage.
