The
banyal
, is a
short sword
originating in the
Moro people
of
Mindanao
in the
Philippines
. It has an unusual concave shape on the blade's top part, which is very similar to the

in general profile. But it is smaller with a different pommel style. The blade is thick, weighted at the front for chopping attacks and had a single edge.
