A INTERESTING NEW KAMPILIAN

yeah, mabagani. i've told my wife that helio gracie originally implemented tenegres and barungs (depending on what day it is) when he started brazilian jiujitsu. and that each of the gracie brothers specialized in different sundangs as part of the BJJ curriculum, reason why i'm collecting these weapons. it's a little known fact about gracie jiujitsu...

lol. My bride is supportive of this particular obsession: it could be much worse. After all, I could have a hobby like skydiving.

Like Mabagani, martial arts and swords were in my life long before I was married. No sense trying to change me.

I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A PSUDO- KAMPILIAN TO GO WITH THE PIRA MADE IN THE SAME AREA USING THE SAME TECKNIQUES.
THEIR TECKNIQUE FOR BENDING THE CARABO HORN AND MAKING IT HOLD ITS SHAPE IS INTERESTING AND AS FAR AS I KNOW IS ONLY DONE THERE. THE WORK IS DONE BY HAND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL AND THEY ARE NOT MASS PRODUCED SO NO TWO WOULD BE EXACTLY ALIKE. I ASSUME THE BLADES ARE MADE USING STOCK REMOVAL WHICH MAKES THEM LESS TRADITIONAL AND LESS DESIRABLE. THE SAME CAN BE SAID OF THE TIBOLI/BAGOBO SWORDS BEING MADE TODAY BUT THEY ARE CLOSER TO THE ORIGINAL FORM THAN THE FANTASY KAMPILIAN WAS.
THEY WILL PROBABLY MAKE MORE TO SELL CONSIDERING THE BIG PROFIT THEY GOT THAT TIME WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE IF THEY CAN FIND SOMEONE ELSE THAT FREE WITH THEIR MONEY. MY BID WAS FOR THE MAXIMUM I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH CONSIDERING WORKMANSHIP,EXOTIC LOOKS AND THE FACT THAT THOUGH NEW IT WAS A FORM OF KAMPILIAN I DID NOT HAVE. MY FAVORITE SWORD IS THE KAMPILIAN AND I HAVE MISSED WINING ONE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
VERY SAD I CAN'T EVEN WIN A AUCTION FOR A NEW FANTASY SWORD ON EBAY

The horn work, especially the scabbard is amazing. Wonder how well it will hold up with climate changes. Vandoo, I was willing to pay $100 for it, but it rose above that before I was ready to bid. There is a lot of work and sweat in that piece. I bet the maker sold it for a pittance. Hope the seller shares with the men doing the work.

Take it easy folks. I guess Punal is just selling off some of his early acquisitions...
