Thumbs up

THE ONLY KAMPILIAN I HAVE WITH A SCABBARD IS 40 IN. LONG SO THEIR KAMPILIAN WOULD BE A LITTLE SHORT BUT OTHER THAN THAT LOOKS GOOD AND DOES HAVE A NICE HORN HANDLE WHERE MOST HAVE WOOD. I HAVE A FEW OF VALIANTS SWORDS AND HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH THEM AND HAVE USED SOME OF THEM FOR LIGHT CUTTING, I ALSO HAVE SOME AROUND FOR USE AGAINST INTRUDERS AND THINK THEY WILL WORK FINE FOR THAT ALSO.

THERE ARE SOME KAMPILIANS STILL BEING MADE IN THE PHILIPPINES AND BEING SOLD AS OLD ONES THEY ARE NOT BAD IF THE PRICE DOSEN'T GO TOO HIGH. IT APPEARS THE BAGOBO OR TIBOLI MAY BE MAKEING SOME OF THEM AS WELL AS THEIR MORE TRADITIONAL SHORT TOK SWORDS. I SUSPECT THE OTHERS ARE COMING OUT OF PANAY OR LUZON ALONG WITH THE PIRA SWORDS, NOW IF WE COULD GET THEM TO MAKE SOME EXCELLENT QUALITY MONSTER HEAD BOLOS

OCCASIONALY I HAVE SEEN OLD KAMPILIANS GO FOR THE PRICE OF THE NEW ONES BUT IT SEEMS THINGS GET HOT AND COLD ON EBAY SOMETIMES ITS A LARGE GROUP BIDDING CRAZY AND SOMETIMES NO BIDS OR RESERVE NOT MET. I GUESS I AM SAYING YOU WILL PROBABLY BE SATISFIED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE VALIANT SWORD OR YOU CAN WAIT A BIT AND PUT SOME MORE MONEY IN THE POT AND TRY FOR A OLD ONE. GOOD LUCK
