Again sorry I'm coming in so late. Lots of excuses - none very interesting. I'd say definately Burmese (Kachin). While the blade does share the same single narrow fuller running close to the spine that I've seen on darb from central Thailand, the blade is too thick. I thought it may have a broken off and reshaped central Thai blade but the thickness seems to taper to the point too uniformly. Additionally the handle is definately not of those I noted prior and though my eyes are going (which is an understatement) the spine seems to transition from flat to peaked in the photo - definately a northern Thai burmese trait.

Again sorry I've been absent - didn't get to go to Timonium (@#$%^#) - and can't possibly keep up with my current 14/7 schedule, but I'll try when I can.

Miss you guys!
