Kampilan with MOP dots
Here a heavy kampilan with a total length of 41 inches.
I discussed this MOP dots on the handle with other collectors and I still have this curiosity........... The best that came up IMO was that they where later implacements to cover the "eye" and the holes where the iron guard were fitted. I would like to hear other suggestions. Kind regards, Maurice Last edited by Maurice; 8th September 2008 at 10:33 AM. |

Hi Jose, it is not a short blade. But I must agree it lookes like it on the attached pics above. The blade itself is 31 inches. I couldn't stand right above it when I took the picture because than it wouldn't fit because of the length of the blade. (and also because of my own body-length, when I was taller I probably would get it done  )I made a new picture of the kampilan hanging on my wall from a more distance, so the length can be seen better. |

The lack of embellisments on the handle is notable .
I've not seen many undecorated hilts before . A nice sword ! |
