Thanks for coming in Atlantia, I suspect Chinese, more so along that line of thinking with the tonkou bearing resemblance to Chinese swords. The tonkou being longer on the cutting edge is consistant with Chinese weapons too. I would like to hear from anyone who can say otherwise with reference? As I am at a loss as to the name of this style of weapon I was hoping that after 241 viewings someone may have been able to offer up a direction to the name?

regards
