Here are two small Hmong or Shan utility daggers with talismanic purpose also. They were used by many tribes in this region.
The one with the cat tooth is 22,7 cm long inside scabbard and 19,3 cm without. The one with the honey colered ivory handle is 23,6 cm inside scabbard and 21,8 cm without.

Silver work on the scabbards looks Shan to me.

Hi Ian,

Yes, you are correct, I would agree, I was a little bit too sloppy with the headline!

So my later addition in the text below!

Best regards,
