Hi friends,
I’m still learning about the South East Asian twists on weaponry. Was just wondering if anyone could identify these large two handed sabers, as Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, Cambodian? 28 inch blades, 40 inch total lengths. Because of the design on the blade, I was leaning towards Vietnamese. But since there’s two of them, it reminds me of the Thai or Cambodian double sabers. (Krabi Krabong etc?) Many thanks in advance. |

My guess is that these items come from Northwest Vietnam.

I just started to discover this region of Vietnam. This is an amazing place with a huge natural and ethnic diversity. I heard from biologists that in this region there are species of animals and plants typical of the West - for India and Indo-China, for the East - for China and East Asia, and for the North - for Tibet, Mongolia and even Siberia. Also, several dozen small peoples live there, speaking the languages of four or even five large language groups. On our planet, such diversity is probably found only in the Caucasus. But it is still a little explored and hard to reach place, and many discoveries will be made there. |
