Kampilan

Considered a national weapon of the Moros of Sulu & Mindanao, the kampilan is a heavy dual-pointed sword with a rich history in the Philippines. Kampilans were widely used as "head-hunting" swords on enemies in the southern Philippines. According to Filipino history, the kampilan is believed to be the sword that struck down explorer Ferdinand Magellan on his journey through the area. Traditionally, the kampilan is about 40“ to 44“ with a carved hilt, a single edge, & a pommel in the shape of "crocodile jaws." Our kampilan is fully function with a high carbon steel blade to withstand the rigors of training. It comes with a handcrafted molave handle and leather wrapped scabbard. All of our Filipino weapons come with black cloth bags for storage and protection.
