Five kampilans: which two to buy?

Look for good flex in the blade; check the taper of the blade looking down the spine; it should taper evenly to almost wafer thin at the point .

I won't suggest an example for you to buy however .
I cannot hold them in my hands .

I'm with Vandoo, the last 2 on the right....Blades are better as well as craftsmanship.

Hi Rick

So far no decision yet. It looks like I'd have a higher comfort level if I buy from forumites instead.

So, I'll just sit here and wait

Thanks/ regards.

Good idea! You can do better than these in the pictures you show.

Hi,

Not that I hurts me or anything but aren't you discussing about 5 pieces which are for sale at a dealersshop so that actually we should avoid this kind of threads?

Well anyway.... no cameras on my stand guys
