SBLN is the second Bittergame LK.
SBLN is the same blade design as the Bittergame SK but much longer. The "N" in SBLN is chosen because:
The photo shown is a SBLN with high point. It has a tip rise 1.25 inches at least. SBLK is the very first Bittergame LK.
SBLK have the narrowest blade of all cockfighting long knives that we knew of. Its widest edge is less than 5 mm or exactly 3/16 inch. The photo shown is an SBLK with a high point. It has a tip rise of approximately 1.25 inches. The word "unay" as translated by google is "concrete". Not so long ago, unay is the norm in making steel spurs for cockfighting in the Philippines. The spur fork base and the spur point are one piece. Nowadays, the fork weapons are made by brazing or soldering together the spur fork base and the spur point. These two pieces can be made by specialists separately. Photo shows unfinished unay (one-piece) Fork (Mexican) Short Knife and unay (one-piece) Fork (American) Long Heel (Gaff).
Fork (Filipino) Long Knife is not shown. |
