And I was trying to remember where I saw that pic...
 BTW, that relief seems to suggest that the cutting edge is on the side pointing away from the turned stick tip. How about the examples other forumites have? (Possibly the person who added the leather attachment got it all wrong?  )Regards, Kai |

And this is the chopper ...
that Andrew referred to that was purchased from Artzi Yarom in Baltimore. The blade has an inserted edge, as well as brass inserts in the blade and along the spine. The handle is bamboo or rattan. Probably late 19th or early 20th C. Judging from the decorations on the blade, most likely from a hill tribe in northern Thailand or Laos.
Blade is sharpened along the inserted concave edge as well as the broad end. Overall length 30 inches. Ian. |
