Close up details of the kampilan or kris knife owned by my "family" in Davao. It has been passed down from father to oldest son for generations and is now owned by my "brother" Jojo. Notice the hash marks on the edge of the blade (think tally marks on the butt of a gunfighter's pistol). It is part of a whole outfit that he has.
Jojo's great-grandfather was a datu of the Bogobo tribe that is native to the area. They are known for their brass and bead work.
