File:Kampilan moro sword with sheath.jpg
Summary
This Moro (Philippine Muslim) kampilan is believed to be late-19th century to early-20th century. Its hilt is wrapped with rattan to improve the grip. The carvings on the hilt follows the traditional Moro design called ukkil or okir. The two holes on the crossguard is where the metal "staple" (C- or U-shaped) goes, as additional protection to the wielder's hand. The sheath is made of disposable wood and is tied with simple lashings. When the sword needs to be used immediately, the sword bearer will simply strike with the sheathed sword, and the blade will cut through the lashings, thereby effecting a tactical strike without the need to unsheathe the sword. Overall length: 966 mm (38 inches); Blade length: 697 mm (27.5 inches); Maximum blade thickness 4 mm (1/8 inches).
