It finally arrived. Testing with a magnet, the tang only extends to nearly the end of the bolster. The markings on the blade are pretty well struck. They look similar to the ones in this thread about recent tourist dhas from Thailand.

The blade has a nice distal taper to it. I'm still cleaning the blade but I wonder if the wavy lines on the blade are evidence of differential hardening.
