This article is about the traditional Moro weapon. For the Korean Confucian scholar, see U Tak.

Utak is a traditional Filipino ethnic Moro weapon in the Sulu Archipelago.[1] It is a sword with a wide tip designed for cutting forward and is a one-handed weapon meant for chopping. The sword is about 24 to 28 inches in length with a hooked grip to prevent slipping when wet.[2]
