The '''pinuti''' is a [[Visayas|Visayan]], [[Philippines]] sword, originally an agricultural implement. Contrary to popular belief, the "classical" pinuti or the proto-typal pinuti made by the Mambaling, [[Cebu City]] blacksmiths are not well balanced. The only well balanced pinuti you will find are those found on internet shops. The classical pinuti, for want of better term, has never been well balanced. It was never intended as fighting weapon. |

''Pinuti'' is [[Cebuano language|Cebuano]] for "whitened". As a farm implement, it would take on a dark [[patina]] due to contact with plant and animal fluids. When farmers sharpened their blades for combat, the blade was polished clean and white. |

The pinuti got it's monicker as the "shining blade" for the sole reason that as a farm implement, it ultimately will have a dark patina due to contact with plant/animal liquids in connection with agricultural endeavours. When farmers sharpen their blades, the edges become shimmering white. Hence "pinuti" that means "whitened" in [[Cebuano language|Cebuano]]. |
