A Kampilan. This one has a big chunky cross guard and a big wire knuckle / hard guard to boot.
I did some cleaning up, light etch and braided a few rattan bands. Some before and after photos. |

Great kampillan Kino.
Could you teach us how to make rattan bands like that??? I can't tell you how many times I could have used them! |

My latest and probably last purchase (actually trade) of the year a gunto with ancestral blade. It's in great shape and haven't even begun to study it but plan to over the Christmas holidays.
Seasons Greetings to you all! Greg |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8C6UKKZ81I I practiced with paracord until I was proficient with the knot /weave. I could weave one with paracord in less than 5 minutes but when it came to weaving it with rattan it took me close to 45 minutes to complete one ring. I want to learn the Gaucho knot and the headhunters knot, they have tutorials in youtube as well. |
