Odd handle for a Kampilan?

viklund_p · 10th November 2009, 05:20 PM

Hi wizards and experts,
-New to the forum I'd like to share some images on a sword that I've been told is a Kampilan but that has a handle I haven't seen in any of your forum images

Been in the family since 1930 and it was said to have been old already then when my Grandmother's brother picked it up in the Philipines

I would be interested in details on its origin and what you think about the handle...(why it is different from any other handles I've seen for Kampilans on the forum)

The blade is 70cm (27.5")

Thanks

Per
