Default recent purchase
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.

Very nice after your care! When you need to sort one from your display to get a free space for the new one feel free to send it to me!

Regards,

Detlef

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!

I'm going to squeeze this one in there. It will fit, I'm sure of it.

I learned it here.

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.

Blade length -28.5". The wire guard is not brass.
I don't remember civics, although I remember a GMRC class.
