Modern myanmar soldier use dha? What cold weapons used by Myanmar Army also?
|
Basic bush/ jungle utility knife...good for clearing jungle vegetation, cooking or constructions tasks. Usually each house will have one.
|
And how it is called? Not dha?
|
Oh, it is a dha, I just didn't use the Burmese word...I was just describing how this is a very common machete/bush length knife.
Dha = single edge blade/ Knife...similar as in Chinese, Dao = single edge blade http://dharesearch.bowditch.us/Gloss...me1Source1.htm dha: (Thai/Shan/Lao/Burmese) blade, or knife (also, dah). dha-lhut: (Burmese) dha-shay worn without a scabbard (lit. "loose/free dha"); in the past, not all soldiers were well-equipt, and some were armed only with a dha without a scabbard. dha-hmyaung: (Burmese) dagger. dha-lwe: (Burmese) dha-shay worn in a scabbard, over the shoulder. dha-ma: (Burmese) chopper, cleaver. dha-mauk: (Burmese) paring knife, utility knife. dha-shay: (Burmese) long dha, curved sword |
Many people will have these for some backyard pruning. I've used mine to trim up some smaller branches and it works quite well. I've even used them on 2-3 inch softwood limbs without much problem.
