The Kortada Sword by Everest Forge is a powerful and practical Filipino-inspired blade known for its chopping force and curved form. Often found in rural and jungle environments across the Philippines, the Kortada is a trusted tool for both utility and defense.

Its 6-inch rosewood handle is shaped for comfort and control, while the leather-wrapped wooden scabbard provides traditional protection and carry.
