Yes that's right! When I got the kamp, the patina was black; so I'm guessing it's nickel silver. It has the same patina as those found on sapot talibong; there's a good chance the cladding was also made from melted coins.

What an unusual blade. I think this is the first I’ve seen a kapit blade on a Kampilan. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Nice kampilan!! It is a very curious piece. Congratulations on the purchase, I saw it on eBay but unfortunately the seller did not ship outside the United States.
Enjoy it
