Battara,

It is very hard to photograph correctly when behind glass.

The blade is a triple row twist core...shame about the hilt though...I am loathe to break open this time capsule to clean these pieces and the condition suits the overall presence of the display...maybe there will be time over the Christmas holidays to give them some attention.

The Kampilan is a very elegant thing too, gentle sweeping curve and demure size would make for a very capable pirate sword.
