Use of the term krabi versus darb

Mark · 29th December 2004, 04:25 PM

Not very long ago I remember seeing a post (I think on the EEWRS) that noted that there was a difference in how the terms "krabi" and "darb/daab" were used by the Thai -- something about one referring to native swords and the other referring to "foreign" swords. My memory is very sketchy, and I can't find the post with the search function.

Does anyone else remember this, or the basic information from the post?
