Thai priest knife
Picked this up a couple of weeks ago in here Chiang Mai. Handle is carved bone, worn smooth from use, knife is 25 cm long, with a nice heft to it. The scabbard is newer, might see if I can get a local craftsman to make a nice teak one for it, which is probably what it had originally. Really like this one a lot... the carved handled knives are hard to find in Thailand these days, I see lots of inferior repros but hardly any real ones.
