KINAMPIT FROM ANTIQUE
Hello friends,
A talibong/talibon from Culasi, Antique with a 'kinampit' blade profile.
OAL: 29.5 inches/ blade: 19.5 inches.
When this was found, the original scabbard was beyond salvation so we had this new scabbard made from an artist in Iloilo.
What fascinated us are the pommel design (looks like a maranhig-undead) and the blade carvings. The maranhig looks 'devilish' in appearance to me.
A blade that made us smile.
Enjoy
Yves
PS: pictures a but dark and hazy. My apologies.
