I wonder.

Kampilans in Basilan?
Hi All! Another question.
Were Kampilans in use, or ever made by the groups in Basilan? Namely the Yakan, Tausug and Bajaw there.

Opinion?
What makes the blade obviously Visayan and original, in my opinion, is that the Kris Blade is straightly erected and aligned to the handle, as opposed to the Moro Kris. Kris's like this is something...

I've been looking up the connection between the Modern/Military/Recon/Marine Ginunting to the more heavy and "traditional" Binangon/Ginunting Bolo as well as the story to how the Modern Ginunting...
