I'll go along with that, I also have a KP that fit's that description.

Is your kampilan a status piece as well?

Yes, whalebone.

Yes, that makes sense. Nice. I had a whalebone one too (sold it for my ivory kampilan) and it did not have a laminated blade either.

The other problem with this barong is that it does not have much of a temper line either.
