Not Vietnamese. Thai, or possibly Laotian (ethnic Tai, in any event, so I guess Shan is also possible).

It is similar to patterns of Thai blades I have seen at the Smithsonian, with the double hump and the little projection along the spine.

You are right, definitely a dheng. Got my wires crossed there (getting old is a drag).

I got sick of keeping my excess swords in flat plastic boxes, so I built this cabinet to keep them in. Less portable, but more stylish.

No idea why the deep repousse work on swords is exclusively Burman (I believe it is) - as you say, the technique is hardly unique to Burma. Quirk of history or taste, perhaps. As for what this is,...
