Blast!!!.. I 'm about to go to bed. But your pics might yield me another sleepless night

Fisrt of all, please accept my sincerely thanks for sharing these precious pics. And please turn on Thai encoding in your browser.

The inscription 's in old words. Many are not in used.

Petchaburi is a province name, 80 miles south of Bangkok

มีดเง้าปังโตดำไทยปลายเจ๊ก is a polearm blade (Ngao/เง้า/ง้าว, Naginata style) with Thai (ไทย) handle (ดำ/ด้ำ/ด้าม) which, in this case might refers to either blade body, pole or tang) and Chinese (เจ๊ก) end/tip (ปลาย)

ระดิงหัวเสียบสวน : Totally no idea for ระดิง but my expert friends might heard it. หัวเสียบสวน might refer to its tip
หัว/Hua/head,tip
เสียบ/Siab/push
สวน/Suan/ adv. against, n. garden

มีดตอกกลาง is the easiest one, central style rattan shredder
มีด/mead/knife
ตอก/tok/n. rattan
กลาง/klang/central

น้ำวน means whirlpool, I have no idea, refer to tip shape, perhaps.

IMHO: these are models for one who was tried to archive styles of Thai knives. Again, this collection 's very valueable for us. Many many thanks for sharing.
