Hagibis - Ifugao, Philippines
The Hagibis is a rarity for Filipino blades because it was not originally forged from agricultural tools. Created during the Spanish occupation, the Hagibis was designed specifically for the purpose of killing.

During Team KIL's recent weapons expedition in the Philippines, we traveled back to Ifugao to visit Tuhon Rommel Tortal. His walls are lined with a vast collection of swords and knives made by the Ifugao people; traditional Filipino blades, forged to look contemporary. We brought some back for you.

These blades are individually forged by local Filipino bladesmiths. They have a long and storied tradition of using salvaged materials and antiquated machines to create working agricultural blades that can also be used as weapons. There may be slight imperfections in these blades that reflect this rustic jungle culture. According to the craftsmen, these are not considered flaws because each blade is still capable of performing its intended function.
