Agree with Julius and Ian, I also think that it is some sort of enep (so called in Thailand), it will be such a knife from somewhere in the given area my two previous commentators have given. Compare with this one from Thailand: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=enep and here one with not exact known origin: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=thailand
But compare the general blade profile with all shown knives in this both threads. Regards, Detlef |

supplement comment
What look weird is the centric tang, all other shown knives show an offset tang.
 This was the main reason that I wait for other comments if I am the only one who recognize the typical blade shape.

Detlef,
I agree that the centrally placed tang is unusual and it gave me pause to think about it. Given the crude forging of the blade, it may simply have been one guy's preference and not a general style. I would add southern Yunnan to the list of possible origins too. Ian |
