Kampilan

The kampilan (or kampílan) is a single-edged long sword of the Philippines, used throughout the islands from northern Luzon to Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago. It was heavily associated with the Maranao and Maguindanao peoples; the Kapampangans used the similar talibong.

It is noticeably larger and longer than most Filipino swords, and it is primarily intended for use as a two-handed weapon. The blade is forged of laminated steel; the hilt is long and tipped with a large, bifurcated pommel in the shape of a stylized serpent (bakunawa or nāga) head.
