A strong blade, 5 mm thick, 14.5 cm long, heavily filed. An 8 cm long handle, rather short for European hands, with the distinctive style of the Himalaya. A scabbard with rather crude "repousse" work.
I think it is a recent work but a real weapon.
What would be its origin and name ?
Thanks for the help
