Actually it IS the same blade... and yes the wood club that looks like a
nifo/oti is in my closet currently. I don't know why the kampilan in the ebay photo looks curved. In any case, my memory must be bad because the combined price of this was $35 with shipping, not $5...
Whatever, I wanted it, and now I have it....

Really? so what do Borneo kampilans look like? Any pictures? I hope to make the fittings as historically accurate as possible...
