Agreed with Federico about distal taper . Both of my old Kampilan taper from a strong quarter inch at the hilt to a sixteenth at the tip .
They both show very good temper (flex) .

Hi Philkid, How did you clean the blade, did you use chemicals, like a paint stripper? What else did the owner say about the history.

Hi Bill, I just used WD40 and #1000 fine sandpaper. It does well with my other krises and kampilans but with this one it does not seem right. He didn't say much about the sword because of the language difference. We are both Filipinos but we do not have the same dialect. But what I'm really after is his kris with original ivory pommel. I'll post it if ever I get lucky. Does anyone of you guys have one? Can you post? Anyway thanks for the comments. Really appreciate it. Thanks.
