Burmese dha knife
length: 16"
Very crisp and clean knife-sized version of a Burmese / Vietnamese / Thai /
Montagnard / SouthEast Asian dha. Very sharp blade, 3/16" thick at base of
spine tapering down to 1/16" at the point. Wood hilt and scabbard bound with
woven rattan bands. Came to me from an antique shop on Maui. Likely made
within the past thirty-five years, but much nicer than the current ghod-awful
cheap souvenir dha's currently coming out of SE Asia. Nice addition
to any dha collection.
blade: 10"
blade width: 3/4" base, 1 1/8" max
grip: 6"
