my Cambodian Mak axe for info, should arrive from USA in a week or so...
billed as mid to late 19c, hollow bamboo haft with bent base at solid root ball which is cut out to form a socket for the blade. blade measures 11.25 inches long by 2 7/8 inches at it's widest. sharp edge is on the inside of the curve. held tightly in place by a horizontally hammered in pin. length overall is 33.5 inches. haft needs a bit of tlc.
note the 'N' stamp on one side of the blade (?)
thanks in advance for any comments.
been looking for an affordable moro panabas, this reminds me a bit like one.
