I haven't been buying much lately, but this interesting little thing caught my eye:

These are the auction photos. I haven't had the time to take better shots.

Riding crop of woven textile/horsehair with new synthetic "naugahide" tip. Low-grade silver handle and wire work, small knife hidden in the handle.

There is a replica of a Thai royal seal set in the pommel.

Well, you know! Siam (now Thailand) was and is a melting pot of cultures. That could blade could have been inspired by Indian or Arab merchants. That's just my guess, but all I'm saying Thai people and culture are a blend of many ethnic groups, including Indians and the Malay people.
