| Description |
English: The Philippine Katipunan-era bolo above is commonly referred to as "Luzon Matulis" (i.e., pointed [blade] of Luzon).
The photo of the entire bolo is here. The bolo has laminated blade. The hilt (handle) is made of carabao horn handle with copper "S" guard and brass ferrule. The butt cap is brass with copper and brass butt plates, where the tang is peened. The leather scabbard appears not as old as the bolo. The peened tang is characteristic of Luzon blades. Visayan and Mindanao-Sulu blades on the other hand have tang that extend up to just about half-way the hilt's length. Close-up shot of the hilt is here. This type of bolo is similar to the one supposedly carried by Andrés_Bonifacio, as per photo of a similar bolo appearing in the books of the Filipino historian, Ambeth Ocampo. Overall length: 497 mm (19.6 inches); Blade length: 371 mm (14.6 inches); Maximum blade thickness: 7 mm (1/4 inch); Scabbard length: 423 mm (16.7 inches) Other uploaded materials by the same author are here: (a) Luzon weapons; (b) Visayan weapons; (c) Moro weapons; and (d) Lumad (non-Moro Mindanao) weapons |
