swap meet dha
bought this at a local swap meet along with the rencong that I showed a little earlier this week.
Where's it from? Should I polish the silver? Is this type of blade ever worth etching to see if it has an inserted edge? Am I verging on blasphemy? thank you in advance for your input; this site is not only a wonderful source of knowledge, but fun as well. |

Bump!
Hello Montino Bourbon I would say it's a matter of personal preference whether to polish up the silver fittings & blade. Where is it from? Probably Northern Thailand/ Burma. An etching may or may not bring out an insert edge, but would most likely show a good monosteel temper line. Nice find Nathaniel |
