Large SE Asian knife and wooden sheath
 

This knife is probably about 20 years old. It comes from the loosely defined area of northern Thailand/Adjacent Laos/ northern Vietnam, and Southern Yunnan Province of China. The blade is hardened, sharp, and of typical profile for a working knife in that region.


The knife does not appear to have been used. On the spine are two areas of six transvere, incised lines and a small inset of copper. These are decorative features of no known significance.


OAL in scabbard: 18.5 in.
Blade length: 11 in.
Hilt length: 6.5 in.
OAL out of scabbard: 17.5 in.
