Is your kampilan a status piece as well?

Yes, whalebone.

Yes, that makes sense. Nice. I had a whalebone one too (sold it for my ivory kampilan) and it did not have a laminated blade either.

The other problem with this barong is that it does not have much of a temper line either.

I love suasa (Second only to my affinity for silver); it's such a gorgeous metal to work with. That red hue is just beautiful.

I wonder, do you think the suasa part of the Punto was a later addition to this piece or was the inclusion of two metals on the hilt part of the original piece?

I do believe that this was original to the piece. If it was added later, it was done early.

Thanks guys - trifecta - good for us here in Kentucky.

I'm pleased. I am researching and designing the scabbard as we speak.

Isn't there an Olympic Gold Medal for that?
