MORO DAGGER

MORO DAGGER – Hand-Forged Filipino Balasiong Dagger
Traditional Filipino Balasiong – A Hand-Forged Moro Dagger Honoring Martial Heritage
The Balasiong, sometimes spelled baliciong, balisiong, or balacion, is a traditional Filipino Moro dagger known for its fast, light, and deadly design. Believed to be part of the Kris family, the Balasiong features a slightly curved, single-edged blade without the signature waves of the Kris. Its form makes it exceptionally effective for both tactical slashing and thrusting, turning it into a formidable weapon in skilled hands.
This hand-forged version of the Balasiong is crafted from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, recycled from truck leaf springs. The blade is carefully water-tempered for optimal hardness and sharpened to a fine edge, making it a fully functional tool suitable for collectors, martial arts practitioners, or those interested in Filipino combat heritage.

The rosewood handle is shaped for grip and comfort, while the scabbard—also made from polished rosewood—completes the weapon's historical and aesthetic value. Lightweight yet tough, the blade is designed for speed, cutting ability, and control.
