Cool to see a transitional piece like this between Malay and Tai.

Hello Jeff,

I was sure to have seen similar knives before. We seldom see blades from this region. There is a collector scene in Thailand and other countries from Mainland South-East-Asia. I would be happy when I could add some of the items seen on the table to my own collection.

Regards,
