Taiwanese Baiwan Mountain Knife
The Baiwan, an aboriginal people of Taiwan, originally inhabited the south-central mountains and foothills of what was then Formosa. This rough and rugged terrain bred a tough warrior people who were not averse to head-hunting raids on neighboring tribes. Their short knives were suited not only to their marauding activities but also for hacking through dense forest undergrowth.
The open sided scabbard is a traditional design and has the very practical advantage of allowing air to circulate around the blade to deter rusting.

Kombat Instruments Limited has been in the weapons and martial arts business for over 30 years. Throughout these decades, members of Team KIL have collected thousands of unique weapons during our international travels, or at auctions, or as gifts from our fighter friends around the world. We've kept some of these weapons to showcase in our personal collections. Many have been donated to museums. But there are still several vintage weapons that need a good home.
We created the KIL Vintage Warfare collection as a way for you serious fighters to own a piece of martial arts history. All of our vintage weapons are pre-owned and well handled; and several have been brandished in actual combat. Please take some time to look at each weapon and to examine each photo in order to find the Vintage Warfare weapon that would be perfect for your own collection.
