Kampilan dimension help please
Hello all
Long time lurker, first time poster. I have been trawling through this site for awhile in regards to SEAsian edged weapons (especially items from the Philippines). I am an active FMA practitioner and am currently concentrating on a kampilan/long staff form. The rattan 42" staff was proving a wee bit too light so I made a kampilan trainer based on live items and trainers I had seen. Now I am in the situation where I want to refine the trainer's weight distribution. I was hoping to get a few details from some live blades and I have seen some beauties on this forum. My kampilan trainer stats are as follows: Overall length = 43" Blade length = 32.5" Point of balance = 21.5" (11" in front of guard) Weight = 2kg If I could get a couple of stats from similar live blades I'll be able to adjust my trainer accordingly. I have included a picture of my trainer balanced on the rattan staff to show point of balance. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
