Hello everybody,
I wanted to show you this small ( burmese ? ) dha dagger or big knife ( 37cm long ). The hilt is made of a solid large piece of ivory and is really heavy. Not ergonomic or easy to handle, I wonder id these piece were more for ritual use than for use it as a real knife. The blade is interesting too: large and blackened ( not rusty at all...) Is it common ? I hesitate to sand it or leave it like that ! What do you think ? Kind regards |

I think Burma or Shan also. I have something similar with a tiger canine as handle. Ritual or talismanic.
I wouldn't mess with the blade. Close up picture of sheath would be pleasant to see. Photo is a bit blurred. |
