"Kalbo." hahaha Never thought of it that way.
I need to add some hair to one of my Kampilans also. What type of hair did they originally use?...and where you get hair from? And how do you add the hair?

I just realized that I did not answer this. The hair can be red dyed or a mix of grey and brown. Some also had black. The hair can come from horse or goat. Plugs were used to keep the hair in the holes.

IN A OLD POST I HAD LISTED SOME SOURCES FOR VARIOUS COLORS AND LEGNTHS OF HAIR FOR SALE. IF I REMEMBER CORECTLY IT WAS GOAT, WATER BUFALOW AND HORSE HAIR FOR SALE. PERHAPS YOU CAN FIND IT IN THE ARCHIVES OR GOOGLE MAY FIND IT FOR YOU.

Hello Dimasalang,

I am with Jose, I also don't noted your question, sorry. But the most answered Jose already. I've got goat hair from a factory for brushes. I attach a close up to show how the hair is kept in the holes by plugs.
