KATIPUNAN (aka Katipunero)
The brotherhood KKK, pioneered by the KKK (Kataastaasan at Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan or Katipunan for short) who armed themselves with only bolos and fight the Spanish conquerors, used this popular design because apparently, this sword can deliver a deadly chop due to it’s heavy belly. This design was used by most members of the Katipunan called Katipuneros. Also used as a farm tool that has been converted as a weapon, this sword gained respect among the Filipino people and the enemies as well. |
