Kampilan Question

All my kampilan (14) have the sharp edge facing the same way. I would imagine that this is the usual direction, though, I guess there could be variations.

Perhaps you could tell us about the handling of ginuntings and pinutes. I guess you are FMA?

Yes. I practice an art called Pekiti-Tirsia. I've had the pleasure of training with Grandmaster Leo Gaje Jr. several times at various seminars to which my group in Detroit travels. We've hosted him several times as well.

What would you like to know about ginuntings? To start, I'll say that they're a wonderful blade.
