There are many different designs of the Gunong. The Gunong is usually A Southern Philippine Maranao or Moro weapon. There are a few different designs of the Gunong; some straight like this one, some that are straight have a double edge. Some have the waves of a Kris blade. The Straight Gunong is also a side arm like the Punyal. The Gunong is worn by tucking it in the sash, although the one wearing it does not suggest a fight or asking for a fight, a man wears it because of its multi purpose use. Often (and until this day), men who have a Gunong tend to show it off and compare it with their friends’ Gunong just to appreciate it’s art and beauty.
