HI Ben,

Moro kampilan handles usually have the this what I would call crocodile mouth and hair with a thick crossguard. Some of these are found in Borneo also (where Moros also live). There are other variations (just search for kampilan on this site) as Cato mentions, but this is the most common and uniquely Moro. Other kampilan blades can be seen on Lumad pieces but without the Moro hilt (usually with Lumad hilts).
