VERY Interesting Thai or Burmese Knife For Sale

Hi Charles. These are work knives. If I recall correctly, used to split rattan.

That's Burmese script on the blade.

Charles:

We have discussed these several times on the Forum. They are a large cousin to the pisau raut and used to split rattan. More commonly seen in N. Thailand/Laos than Burma.
