Whale Bone Kampilan
A recent pickup. The pommel is carved out of one piece of whale bone, not a, two pieces of slabs put together.
Enjoy. |

That's the most awsomest Kamp. I have ever seen. I sold off all my ethnographic stuff 7 or 8 years ago. I had one Kampilan. As far as blade quality, the only blades I have ever seen that are better in forging, and finish, are Japanese! I judge the surface of a blade by reflective light. Look down one, and see the ripples. That Kamp. had none. I've found the best light to use, is a television, in the dark. You see EVERYTHING. M.P.

battara, highly doubt this kampy is new. the looks still conforms with the older kampys. newer ones (1940's on up) tend to have rounder edges, the one i call kampy V 2.0. kinda like an evolution from the older ones.. of course, it's just a theory.. the scabbard might be later tho |
