Whale Bone Kampilan

[kino]

A recent pickup. The pommel is carved out of one piece of whale bone, not a, two pieces of slabs put together.

Enjoy.

That's the most awsomest Kamp. I have ever seen. I sold off all my ethnographic stuff 7 or 8 years ago. I had one Kampilan. As far as blade quality, the only blades I have ever seen that are better in forging, and finish, are Japanese! I judge the surface of a blade by reflective light. Look down one, and see the ripples. That Kamp. had none. I've found the best light to use, is a television, in the dark. You see EVERYTHING. M.P.

yo dimasalang! wassup bro!!! nice to see you here! welcome and enjoy
:) :) :)



battara, highly doubt this kampy is new. the looks still conforms with the older kampys. newer ones (1940's on up) tend to have rounder edges, the one i call kampy V 2.0. kinda like an evolution from the older ones.. of course, it's just a theory..
the scabbard might be later tho
