Lapu
Lapu
A King's Balisong
by Pabu Knife
Remember that sword Magellan was killed with? The
Filipino warriors sword? The kampilan with its
distinctive forked tip?
In all of the thousand-plus balisong knives I have
seen, I have never seen one with a kampilan blade.
And it is the perfect -- indeed, the required -- blade
profile for a balisong honoring Lapu Lapu.
And there it is, all together:
solid titanium handles
Damascus inserts secured inside the channels
Adjustable pivots
R latch
diamond horns
and a kampilan blade
But remember what I said about Lapu Lapu?
He was a skilled horseman at age six.
He read and wrote at age seven.
He was a champion diver and swimmer.
He was a champion boxer.
He was a champion wrestler.
He was a military leader.
And he was a hero and a king.
A knife honoring him had better be just as
superlative as he was.
