Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Burmese Dha/ Thai Daab...why Guardless????

Hello all,

I think this is kind of a basic question...but I was wondering if it has ever been questioned why Daab/dha do not have a guard to protect that hands?

Plus just the over all question of the functionality(I think I made my own word) of guards...some are very small...such as those on Chinese jian...others cover the whole hand.

I just thought I would pose this question to see what people think
