Thanks Ian
Very interesting. A bit of coincidence perhaps, but looking at the other thread and the included knife now leads me to add some more photos. This one was a puzzle yesterday, but perhaps not today  Regards Roy |

Roy:
Nice knife and unusual as you suggest. It appears to be "Burmese" in style and might well be from the same area as the swords below. Ian. |

Nice pieces Roy, & fascinating to see Ians old book ref. describing them!
Well done Ian! The old drawing ,pics & catalogues so often have the answers! As for your knife Roy, it certainly looks like the line drawing to me!

Thanks for all your help Ian, it looks pretty conclusive.
Spiral, I quite agree with your comments about the old books. Regards Roy |

Another example of this "transplanted" dha that I picked up recently. The red lacquer is not as prominent as in the other examples.

Just to complete the list of edged weapons mentioned in the reference above, here is a Shendu dao (takong) that measures 18.5 inches overall. The edge is chisel-ground, with a prominent bevel on one side and flat on the other.
