The Pinuti is a Filipino sword from the Visayas Philippines. The weapon was originally intended as an agricultural implement. The grip is usually made of guava wood which is light. The blade itself is approximately 16 to 18 inches (40 to 45 cm) long.Pinuti is Cebuano for whitened. As a farm implement it would take on a dark patina due to contact with plant and animal fluids. When farmers sharpened their blades for combat the blade was polished clean and white.
