Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Hoping For Some Help Identifying the Origins of this SE Asian Highlands Weapon

I hesitate to use the word 'dha' or 'daab' here, but I am hoping someone can help me with identifying the origins of this most unusual, but very efficient, weapon that I believe is from the highlands of mainland SE Asia. Note the unique rattan bands between the white metal bands and the corded grip with its wire stitching.

The total length is 40.5in., with a blade of 14.5in.
