Did Lumads make their own Kampilans?

[Ian]

Ashkenaz,

Here are a couple of pictures of a T'boli and a Bagobo small kampilan. They are each shorter than the Moro kampilan and are more in the nature of large knives rather than swords. The tribal distinctions are in the hilts and the ikat wrappings of the scabbards, otherwise it can be hard to distinguish between the tribal origins because the blades are often similar. The top one is T'boli.
