Rhysmichael is right in that both can have scabbard ends like this. If you etch the blade you may get a pattern in it. It is pretty close to complete. A nice piece.

By the way - the T'boli piece that is in the link is mine that I loaned to the exhibit.
Thanks for clearing up which was which. And that is a nice example that was on display in the exhibit.

Any input on if the one here should be called a kampilan or a bangkung ?
