I recently got two of these, so I'm letting one go.
Good condition, not too sharp, a very small nick on the edge towards the tip.
250USD or swap.
More pics on request.

Dha
Haven't seen one of these on the forum for a while so I thought I'd post this latest acquisition.
A Burmese dha, 23 /4" blade.

Any comments would be greatly...
