KOMBAT INSTRUMENTS

KIL is a company created to serve the needs of combat martial artists by providing durable gear for full-contact stick fighting and weapon matches... Kombat Instruments Ltd.'s sticks are hand cut from Mano rattan, which is the hardest of all the rattans. We offer any custom length or practical diameter. They are twice fire-hardened for strength and even more hardness in a process taught to the owner by his Filipino instructors. This process takes the moisture out of the skin of the rattan, drawing it tight, which gives the desired strength and rigidity. The sticks are then soaked in an ancient filipino recipe of oils and lacquers to help preserve them for a longer life. In addition, the ends of the sticks are rounded off slightly after cutting to reduce the sharpness of the edges.
