Hi Detlef,

That is a very nice example and the carving is well executed. Agree that the hilt is more likely bone than ivory, but hard to tell from the pictures. I associate this style of knife and sheath with the Golden Triangle area of Burma/Thailand/Yunnan, and there may well be some Shan influence in the nice silver sheath and ferrule. Would that be your assessment too?

Would you please list the dimensions of this one?

Cheers,

Ian
