A Kampilan. This one has a big chunky cross guard and a big wire knuckle / hard guard to boot.

I did some cleaning up, light etch and braided a few rattan bands.
Some before and after photos.

Very nice after your care! :) When you need to sort one from your display to get a free space for the new one feel free to send it to me! ;) :D

My latest and probably last purchase (actually trade) of the year a gunto with ancestral blade. It's in great shape and haven't even begun to study it but plan to over the Christmas holidays.

Seasons Greetings to you all!

I learned it here.

I practiced with paracord until I was proficient with the knot /weave. I could weave one with paracord in less than 5 minutes but when it came to weaving it with rattan it took me close to 45 minutes to complete one ring.
I want to learn the Gaucho knot and the headhunters knot, they have tutorials in youtube as well.

Blade length -28.5". The wire guard is not brass.
I don't remember civics, although I remember a GMRC class.
