Combat Ginunting - The blade choice of the Philippine Force Recon Marines

[@tybuzz67]

My goodness, for the people who are one of the friendliest and happy people on earth they do have deadly, brutally efficient blades and not only that they have one of the deadliest practical martial arts in the martial arts world -- kali. not good to piss them off -- so I say LET 'EM HAVE THE MIC!

[@reddevilparatrooper]

Very nice...Very proud of being a Filipino by birth and an American soldier by choice...

[@lechristine1372]

So what, . . . Its better to serve for the Inang Bayan though , . . . Your Filipino but your choice is American, then your an American , your confused of your gender or something ? 😂

[@draysmusicalshtposts6340]

@@lechristine1372you can be proud of both ancestral lineage and your home country, it's not rocket science. Can Filipino Americans not be proud of both parts of their cultural identity? Only one confused here is you buddy.

Funny thing, here in Visayas, "Ginunting" means "to cut" and "Gunting" means "Scissors, if you separate a scissor it looks like the Ginunting Bolo.

[@andoylanggid]

Thats the root word, gunting.

..the "Ginunting" is the Filipino version of the Roman Gladius short sword.. very effective and deadly at close quarter combat. The downward slope of the blade assures it to cut deeper with every strike

[@gerardrizon1600]

This is a blade with life..their is a secret in that blade that few people know about it.. the art of craftmanship..you did'nt paid for the blade but to paid the skills talent and the protection in your self and in your family..this is the finest blade they call it Sayyap meaning Blade..Kali blade the Godfather blade its Holy..its Life in it behind the sword..btw if you want to know the secret that reveal already stay tune to Kali show combat.

[@pushupman6479]

Isn't it the kampilan? ginunting just looks so small to match Roman gladius sword.

[@silangangbahagi9267]

no the closest Looking Filipino sword to Gladius is the Inalag. It is the blade that the Cagayan warriors use

[@fredhercmaricaubang1883]

Hey, Red Baron! Greetings from the Philippines! Actually, there's more than 1 type of Bolo & the Ginunting is just one of them! The Ginunting in particular is specialized as a man-killer, sort of like the Japanese Katana. Just for your information. By the way, you wouldn't happen to be a Sabaton fan, would you? If so, let me guess your favorite Sabaton song: It's "The Red Baron", right? Well, it's the same as mine, along with "The Last Stand"! If so, Greetings, Brother!

[@HipposHateWater]

@@pushupman6479 Gladius were really damn short too. (They were designed for use in a densely packed shield wall after all.)

The Only Armies I know around the world that carries bladed weapons which are not a standard Army (Knife/bayonet) are the Gorka's with their (KUKRI) and the PH Force Recon Marines's (Ginunting)

[@johnboy2349]

I'm sure there are more. These are very handy for CQC.

[@beanstalker3292]

The music complements that beautiful blade....

[@mitondo6123]

The ginunting, like the kris, and kampilan (a long sword) are Filipino blades that are purpose-built weapons. Other long blades, such as the bolo, are primarily agricultural implements. Of all Filipino blades, however, the ginunting has proven itself to this day as a purely functional weapon, leading it to be adopted as the blade of choice of the Philippine Force Recon Marines. They have combat training using the ginunting. That's a tough bunch of hard men, and giving their stamp of approval to this weapon validates its battle-worthy status. Now, never mess with a nation whose soldiers carry bladed weapons and actually train how to use them.

[@animestarwolves4078]

my father once use this weapon on abusive soldier on shooting spree he aproach the guy and use to block his m-16 it was cut in half this blade is no joke

[@herosdiaz8757]

i like the black tactical more than the plain finish for the guard.

That's a great choice!

ginunting is weapon yes but it is also for filipino farm use here in cabatuan Iloilo Philippines

[@Ecommerce560]

Nice video and beautiful blades. I also enjoyed the music

[@DrozGodhammer]

The design reminds me of the Dacian Falx or Falcata I think... anyways the Dacian Falx became famous among the Romans for its notoriety. It is said that this weapon, due to its shape, can destroy shields and armor like a warhammer would. The Ginunting, shares this design and therefore, its famous cutting power. I WANT ONE FOR CHRISTMAS!!!

[@cyclotron8798]

You have just said what i was going to write. The forward curve is amazingly effective

I guess it's difficult to explain then, why the only Japanese who died to these knives were those who were caught in an ambush. You're daydreaming if you think this is better than a sword which is sharper, better made and has 3 times as much reach.

Hi, Im a new subscriber. What is the difference between talibung and ginunting in terms of use?

[@TopPradoBladesOfficial]

There is a difference in the balance and way the blade maneuvers and manipulates.

[@MementoMori1001]

Top Prado Blades ok. thanks

[@manfredrichthofen2494]

Talibung is longer..more slender and having a progressive taper going to the point of the blade. There is a saying at Libacao,Aklan where the Talibung is made that the blade becomes sickly and feverish when deprived of blood from combat

[@edenchan2817]

Both are tested fighting swords, but the Ginunting designs has a better chopping capabilities in jungle survival tasks, such as chopping branches or woods for quick camouflage cover or shelter.

Priced me out. Won't buy a knife without knowing the steel its made out of. Good steel and consistent heat treatment is the key to a good blade. I can build one in my forge out of premium steel and controlled heat and cryo for about a third of the price, and will know what I've got.

[@TopPradoBladesOfficial]

Okay...

[@aajiinuevo]

A good blade comes from the process of making the blade or how it is really build not just from any type of steel. A good blacksmith knows how to build a terrible type of steel to a good blade.
