Yunnan Dha/Dao?

Hi Ian,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Yes the blade shape, the swollen handle, and the carvings are what struck me as particularly Chinese, while the tripartite composition of the handle is very dha-like.

I'm leaning more and more towards the handle material being bone. I was afraid it might be plastic but I don't think so anymore.

I've easily removed the guard and the overall lines of the piece flows much nicer now.

Regards,
Emanuel
