Another oddity.
Blade is 12 1/2 " long. Overall length is 23 1/2". Blade is 5/16 " thick at the back near the hilt. It is a very heavy item at just over a Kg in weight. Not at all comfortable for one-handed use. Hilt is slightly oval in cross-section. It appears too elaborate to be just a chopper, but that's what it feels like. Anyone seen one of these before ? My guess would be somewhere in the Nagaland / Burma area. Any suggestions would be welcome. thanks Royston |

A chopper, that's obvious.
My guess is that it is Indonesia or Phillippines. The hilt has some simmilarities with a chopper I placed some time ago. Here is the link. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=841 |
