Hi All
I just picked this up on ebay seems old but I am not that familiar with these types of knives. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_2882wt_926 |

Very nice.
Chiseled blade. Wow. I'm not familiar with these kinds of knives but I would have thought it was from the Balkans, or Ottoman empire period Turkey. But what would I know. |

Interesting sticker Lew, I wonder if it was even hidden in a plain sheath to resemble a simple stick, a wolf in sheeps clothing.
It appears to me to be from the border regions of China, Burma & Laos, a very diverse region. Similar file designs to the spine are seen on my Hudaidao from this region shown on display in my Gallery page, as I am not permitted to place the link in these pages myself, I'll grab the image of the file work and place it here for reference.

I was thinking before that this piece was more Burmese....granted the same/ related tribes are across both borders...and traded amongst each other. Thanks for sharing the pics, Gavin. Great knife, Lew! Guess I didn't bid high enough! ![]() The multiple fullers reminds me of the one dha you have Gavin...I'll let you do the honors if it suits you ![]() ![]() |

You know now that I think about it...The blade shape of the knife is not the norm of what you see for people in the Golden Triangle area...but it does remind me of the same shape of some Hudiedao....not to say this means much...but just an observation....I know it's a stretch.

On the multi-fullered front Nathaniel, I think this is the piece your draw similarities from, the feather weight fighter. Gav |

I really like the stuff from Yunnan. Nice knife, Lew.
![]() Gav, I don't know how you manage to hold on to that pair--horrible. Really disgusting and ugly. Look, mate, if you ever feel like you just can't stand the sight of that set, send me an email. I'll take them off your hands and give them a good home. ![]() ![]() Andrew |
