Burmese, East Asian Mak Chopper?

Now that is very interesting, fantastic recall. The similarity is unquestionable. I have not seen the use of the Indian ebony "coromandel wood" on Afghan items.
On my example the line cut in the blade and stamp are seen on the Afghan/ entral Asian knife with the ivory handle I post earlier. Does anybody feel it would be unreasonable to assume this has been sorted completely? Is it or is it not a weapon? any knife is a weapon?
